CONNECT FOUR I WIN

[rydain]

I got the job. Not just a job. The job. The high end programming position I applied to at Penn State, whose listing sought a driven and creative problem solver. The one with an interview I prepared for by mainlining '80s tunes in the Kern Building lobby beforehand, and in which I shed my suit jacket and flexed for a room full of staffers in

Hell yes! Congratulations!

[rydain]

Thank you!

YAAAAY! That sounds awesome! :o Wow and quite formal too, regarding the dress code. But hey, congratulations! :D

Also, what the hell is Lian Shi supposed to be? A fisherwoman? Also, will she EVER cover up her chest?

[rydain]

Thanks! It's not too bad from my Captain Casual perspective. The dress code is basically what you would wear to a nice restaurant. I already had a bunch of random black dress pants from my mom, so I just had to buy more shirts to go with them. I found plenty of comfortable, simple styles in my preferred colors of black, deep blue, and whatever else goes. XD

People on KOEI Warriors say that Lian Shi is supposed to be a pearl diver, so we're probably lucky that she isn't all out DOA dental floss bikini. I am disappoint that Lifeguard Huang Gai isn't wearing a Speedo. Lu Meng is random as hell (I guess they didn't want to recycle his very in character DW7 teacher DLC?), but if he's driving for Rich Bastard Swag King Lu Su, I suppose I can get some happy thoughts from that.

"I am disappoint that Lifeguard Huang Gai isn't wearing a Speedo" - LOLOLOL, only you! Why am I not surprised? XD

[rydain]

Believe it or not, there were multiple others on KOEI Warriors saying the same thing. Some out of lulz, and some who are awesomely wrongheaded like yours truly. :D

Congratulations! Glad that it all worked out in the end.

[rydain]

Thanks! Indeed it did. Penn State has always been in the back of my mind as an ideal place to work, but I wasn't looking around for other opportunities until the axe fell.

HUGE congrats! :D

Thank you!

And what did I do to help?

I broke the toilet. You're welcome! :)

[rydain]

Love you too, Wreck-it Ogre.

[skurtchasor]

You broke a toilet? That's worth a post.

[fndragon]

Nah. I just sat on it and cracked the particleboard cheap seat earlier this week. Nothing too exciting.
