I just turned down the job offer from Barracuda Networks. I agonized over this decision for the past week, and I can't believe that I actually turned it down. Honestly, I'm a little worried but also very relieved. I guess I just feel badly about wasting their time only to turn down the offer. I was thisclose to accepting it, but then I reconsidered ( Read more... )

happy birthday, david!

To make a long story short, I had my onsite interview with Barracuda Networks last Wednesday, and then they made me an offer on Friday morning. I have until Wednesday to make a decision, and I have no idea what to do. Part of me wants to just stay with Symantec for another couple of months, until I've gotten a few more interviews. Of course, that ( Read more... )

Come to think of it, I'm more nervous about possibly getting this job than I am about not having one!

I just finished a 40-minute phone interview with someone from Barracuda Networks. There were times during our conversation that I could feel myself getting so flustered and extremely frustrated.

Hehe - the person who sits on the other side of my cube is sleeping!

I know work is really boring right now, but seriously... ;)

1) What is the shelf life for fresh fudge?

Companies I've applied to so far...

- Microsoft

One of my cousins, Christine, is 17 and about to graduate from high school. She looks so much older than me! I am 7 years older than her, and she looks like she's the older one. It's crazy. Part of it is that she wears a lot of makeup and I don't like to wear a lot of makeup. People have often told me that I look older when I'm in my work clothes, ( Read more... )

Wow, my resume generated interest! I am genuinely surprised, because I never thought people looked on sites like monster.com or dice.com. Anyway, I got an email asking if I could send a writing sample. But I'm not sure that I know how to write about servers. I can always learn and I pick up technology quickly, but I wonder if that will be enough...
