The week, weakly...

elfsIt has been a week. Isn't it always a week? This week contained some very good notes, and a few very annoying notes. At the high end of the week, I had a freelance job that the contractor seems to be reasonably happy with, doing fascinating things with javascript and X86 assembly language (no, really!). I had to resurrect my memories of living without Ext-JS, doing Ajax round-trips with Prototype, so I blogged about it.
In other news, I had a fabulous interview on Tuesday and haven't heard anything since. Bummer that, I really did want that job. I sent the interviewer a thank-you note anyway. I did a lot of job searching Monday and Thursday, and got the requisite three contacts out of the way. I had to postpone two interviews and have a lot of recruiter emails that suddenly sprang up Thursday afternoon to plow through before Monday morning.
I haven't been writing at all. I don't know why. It's not as if story ideas don't keep happening to me, but I just haven't had the time to develop anything the way I'd like to. I feel only a little bit guilty about that.
Friday, Kouryou-chan had her "flying up" at her school, a Montessori tradition where she's applauded for passing up from one class to another, being handed off from one educator to another. We also got her ITBS scores today, and she's just amazing: her reading and composition skills are the equivalent of a grade eight, and her math skills were in the sixes, two grades above where she is right now.
Maybe someday I'll write about the jaw-dropping arrogance and miscalculation I had to deal with this week. The response has been entertaining. I am Wesley from the Princess Bride, and giggle there are two cups in front of me. Hmmm.
