Maybe she took that Three Bean Soup thing to heart
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Does anyone like the new Slack logo?
We've spent some quality time here at work mocking it. In Slack. So far the consensus is that it looks like a 1990s logo for something at a mall.
Setting up the next meeting at the end of the interview seems like a good sign.
Yes indeed!

I was thinking logo for a failed Olympics bid.

I'm having trouble imagining it, like, at all, but I'm willing to believe there is value in it.
I mean, if she was trying to create phở out of chicken noodle soup and the salad bar, I would admire the attempt. But that is not what happened. Also, we have a cafeteria that serves phở.

That is a good sign! Your rate of success with interviewing seems super-high.
I think my interview game is pretty solid. I use the strategy of asking about their challenges and then relating how I have experienced similar challenges in the past and trying (in very board terms) talk about how they could be addressed.

I've settled on the headcanon that it's the Box Theory of Food run amok. Everything is soup!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can also imagine putting stuff from the salad bar into soup more easily than the other way around. People are a mystery.
Is part of your job wall assessment, Jesse? So curious.
Sometimes people want me to have an opinion on where signs should go and what they should look like. Which is basically ridiculous, but does lead to occasional field trips.

I suggest random locations and like the new Slack logo.

The job search does seem to be going okay. I got a job offer yesterday (same company that just the the layoff before start thing, but a different group) after an interview earlier that day. I've got an interview for a different position with the same employer I have now on Monday. I have a phone interview with the Federal Reserve Tuesday. I have a third interview (the one set up today) on Wednesday. I'm waiting for a decision from an interview about a week and a half ago. I also am meeting with two recruiters tomorrow. Luckily, I don't really have much to do at work right now.

Wow, that sounds really positive, Gud!
