Death from Above!

Yesterday: Spent 3:30AM-7:50PM on trains and in train stations. Woo. Don't know if Amtrak beats flying (it's cheaper, more comfortable hour for hour, probably better for the environment) but it's always late and much slower (why oh why don't we have bullet trains here yet?). It's better than Greyhound in almost every way, though. After arriving in Boston, I crashed at Xave's. Thanks to Markos for the ride to the Amtrak station and to Xave for putting up with my job-search-in-Boston-related shenanigans.

Today: Job interview with Karmaloop. Bottom line: The interview went well, except the timeframe doesn't work out. Their IT dude is going on a month-long vacation in a week. I donned ye olde interview suit for the first time, but that was way too formal for that company. Still might have been a good decision, as my suit is also far more stylish than anything else I wear. I picked up an application for work at the Starbucks near the Common on my way back to MIT.

Currently: I'm mystery hunting with team Death From Above. The puzzles this year are fiendish indeed, but it's good times.

Starbucks keeps applications on file for 6 months, so if you apply at one store and they are full up you might be able to get your application sent from store to store if you make a good enough impression.
