I Just Realized I Never Mentioned...

And it's not even 10:45 AM yet.
As most folks here probably know already, I had an appointment for a second interview -- a monster of a second interview -- with a company in NYC this afternoon.

So what am I doing here describing all this instead of sitting on the train or hitting the mean streets of NYC?
Simple.  While I was having one of those days, so was the company that I am going to interview at.  As I sat on the platform waiting, the HR person called me and asked if I would mind rescheduling, because she was out sick, and the CTO's daughter was in the hospital with a possible broken hand, and so on...  I graciously allowed as how that would make my life a bit easier given the course of my day, and we both agreed to arrange a new interview date tomorrow, when she would (hopefully) be back in the office.  So I went home, where I could be headachy and tired without it affecting my future employment prospects as much as it might have.
Thus endeth the lesson.

Just got an email from the guy at the local company -- he said it took him a little longer than he expected to set up a coding test thing that he wants the second-round candidates to do, and that he'll be ready to start on Wednesday. Again he didn't actually say he was having me back, but once again he gave me more detail than I think he'd be inclined to give someone he was going to say "thanks but no thanks" to.

What the crap is it about today?  I spent half the day doing interviews with various witnesses for an investigation I'm working on. Interviews? More like written legal depositions. The dates on these things are very important.  And not 30 minutes ago I realized that everything I'd done during that time carries tomorrow's date.
