Do you mind if I come in late a day or two as a result?</p> <p>Answer: That&#8217;s not a problem. Just remind me when so I know where you are.</p> <p>2) <a href="http://www.topcoder.com/pl/?&#38;module=Static&#38;d1=google05&#38;d2=overview">Google Code Jam</a> is coming up. I would like the chance to participate, but the qualification round is on Monday the 22nd&#8230;........</p> <p>Before I was able to finish, the response was: That&#8217;s cool, you can take the day off.</p> <p>I wasn&#8217;t even able to ask the third question before my boss asked his own. &#8220;I was wondering if you wanted to continue working part time for Satlantic&#8221;. I told him that weekdays would be a problem, in between my full time classes, and society work. This is apparently not a concern of his. He is content having me put in whatever time I have and see fit. I think this is quite awesome, and told him that as soon as he clears the financial details with the budget, get back to me and we can work out details.</p> <p>Question 3? It was supposed to be &#8216;What are the odds of me working part time for Satlantic in the Winter&#8217;.</p> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 19:34:00 +0200 urn:uuid:da267861ff6d989e37d081a98c342ef8 Sean http://www.crazyorgenius.com/articles/2005/08/11/ask-a-question-get-a-response Geek Work http://www.crazyorgenius.com/articles/trackback/8 <p>Lucky bastard.</p> Thu, 11 Aug 2005 21:50:43 +0200 urn:uuid: http://www.crazyorgenius.com/articles/2005/08/11/ask-a-question-get-a-response#comment-86
