inded, not an interesting title for a post. Actually, I am sure a quick search would show me that I have used it several times before. Either way, it suits.
I am on a plane, again, this time flying back to Canada, after a couple of overwhelming days in San Francisco... I was flown there by a very cool Start Up company called Slide, founded by Max Levchin. The company range of services it's growing, it seems to be going on a cool direction, and they need good people in their team. :-)
Honest, I did sign an NDA (non disclosure agreement), so I don't know how much about the whole thing and interviewing process I should say. Heh... The whole thing though, was pretty darn cool, as exhausting as it may be. As an experience alone, to be talking and hanging out with the Sylicon Valley guys, right when the 2nd bubble is going on in the craziness of Web 2.0, was just fun. Meeting one of the founders of Paypal, and hear about all this cool projects, meet people who got rich all of a sudden because of the YouTube deal, etc... It's all happening there. You read about this deals, and this people and sites... Here you meet them and hang out with them and see the whole thing more for what it really is...
At slide I bumped into a cool team filled with young passionate people, that know their stuff, and want to make stuff happen. I was lucky too, and happened to be there to celebrate the birthday of one of them, and during a picnic kick-ball game between the guys from Slide and the guys from Yelp.
... What comes next?...
On verais, as they say in French. Will I get a job offer?. I don't know... At this point, I am grateful I lived the experience as it is. If I do get the offer... Some sleepless nights are to come. Will I drop out from the masters?. What happens with my TA contract?, What happens with my apartment's lease and even all my stuff?!... He he he... I didn't realize how settled I am already in Edmonton, until I started thinking that it may be time to leave the place... If the offer is solid enough, it could well be time to move on...
... It's all speculation now though. Tomorrow people from Mexico are visiting, and I hear there may be an interesting job offer for a project that starts Fall 2007, and Monday I meet with my possible new supervisors for the masters, and start working on this new Thesis project, while the Company to which I work in BC, wants me to get more involved with the Flash development in their new generation of products... O.o
AHHHHHHHHHH... All this things going on... I should stop thinking about all this, and plan what I will wear in a few hours for the Halloween party in Edmonton. :-P Now THAT is a short term priority... ;-)
Can't complain though, my life, as I said, is never boring... And having many options and things to chose from, is a much greater problem than been unemployed and without a spot to move on to...
Mmmmh... It may soon be time to close this computer, the plane seems to be getting close to Calgary already.
Cheers people...
Good vibes as usual, and a smile.
