The Job Search Continues

elfsWell, today was unproductive job-wise. I found one opening through a recruiter I'd already spoken with, so it was a different position and I need to get a job number from my contact at this recruiter. Otherwise, pretty bleak.
I did do a technical interview, and the engineer and I talked around all the development issues I did. I kinda flubbed the SQL "Inner joins and Outer joins" technical, but I confessed to using the ORM and taking the default recommendations. I was not aware-- and this was bad-- that ISAM isn't fully ACID, but then most modern installs don't activate the ISAM component anyway. But all of the development layer questions, especially about test driven development and acceptance testing and all that, I knew my stuff, so it was all good that way.
I find that when I'm using the earpiece I tend to pace all around the house, up and down the hallway between the living room and the bedrooms, using motion to activate portions of my brain.
Anyway, we'll see how things go. According to the guy I talked to, a lot of people use the Renton P&R and bus it up to Bellevue. It's faster than driving.
