Fun Quotes overheard from work:

“So, we’ve been here a week, the internet’s down, the power’s gone out, this is definitely a sign of good things to come…”

“You should have been here last night- about 6, the heat came on, and it was blasting, and then a bunch of chinese immigrants came in and started making shoes…”

I love our developers. They fill the office with mirth

The interview today… interesting. I dunno how I feel about the sincerity of the CEO, but then I have a tendency to secondguess intent. The place in question is called elliance. The standing offer I have from them right now is an 8 week project in two segments, an understood part time freelance. The first is content, layout, and interactivity, the second is transitions and experience. Paid by the hour, freelance, with the potential of a fulltime job offer in the interim. The reason he gave me for not putting in an offer right away is that he promised two more people interviews on friday and monday.

The culture shock was the hardest to take, and that wasn’t too difficult. You come in, you’re expected to know what to do, when it’s due, and who you need to talk to. What you don’t have to do is get signoff. There’s no accountability other than yourself here. Back at NDC, it was true design by committee. Everyone had to get their word in, everyone had to get involved, and you were accountable for everything.
