I’m sitting in the airport. My last hour in Pittsburgh is going to be quite boring. Meh.

The past few days have been amazing. I saw just about every person I know/knew in Pittsburgh and got to spend time with a bunch of people.

Meh.

I’m not ready to grow up… :-\

So yeah, I didn’t get the Google offer.
That’s really for the better since it makes me decision quite a bit easier. I can now say with a bit of certainty that I will not be in Pittsburgh this January.
But meh… I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. Part of me is sad to be leaving Pittsburgh (and afraid to be moving somewhere new), but I’ll likely end up near people I know from CMU anyway, so it’ll be fine. I suppose this only reenforces my initial reaction that I was only interested in Google because of the location (Pittsburgh) and the name (Google)… I didn’t find the work particularly interesting (at least, not nearly as interesting as some of the other offers I have).

5 job offers on my plate for me to consider. Two more interviews after Thanksgiving, one of which I’ll probably end up cancelling (more because I’m sick of interviewing than I’m not actually interested in the company).
One of the 5 stands out to me as the clear top… but now that kernel is complete, I need to more carefully look at the other 4 to start eliminating them.
Overall, I’d say I came out pretty well in the job game. :)

There needs to be a party of great justice in December before I leave Pittsburgh.

I have a Randall Munroe-signed CtFwS t-shirt.

Our kernel now passes enough tests that it’s to where you could consider it “complete.” If we were to hand it in today, we would be able to move on to P4.

I received a bribe package from Laserfiche today containing a nice awesomely obnoxiously orange-colored fleece jacket, a large package of very nice, very expensive-looking cookies, and a collection of other random snacks and candy.

I am working on Student Wars v2 and am going to a funnel cake party tonight courtesy of Mars and Dan.

Personal life is going well and generally makes me very happy.

Next week, after the kernel is due, I am going to go shooting portraits of people.

I got the tripod I ordered from Amazon, so I can now shoot nighttime portraits without having to steal someone else’s tripod.

I downloaded an album of “Band of Gold” remixes from iTunes last night and have been listening to them since.

I am content in the knowledge that I am not wanting for anything right now… and that, no matter which of my amazing job offers I take, I will not be wanting for anything in the future either.

…
There is absolutely nothing wrong with and absolutely everything right with my life right now, and I think this is the happiest I have been in recent (or even un-recent) memory.
Why is the world so awesome?

OS is death, but life is good.

I want job offers (or, at least, rejections) :-\
