I was the only non-Indian person at the interview, so racism is on my side. But I have no idea why I went there. My UAI is so high the interviewers can't count to it.

Frederick, who had married the daughter and heiress of the King of Jerusalem, was willing to go when he could, and ( Read more... )

SCORE! I've lost my chickenshop job due to general incompetence. I don't have to insert spicy breadcrumbs into anyone's anus anymore.

I've been reading the History of Western Philosophy because...er... because I'm a geek. Currently, I'm half-way through the section on Catholic philosophy, which isn't nearly as boring as it could've been ( Read more... )
