Inauguration Week

Probably the most significant week of 2009.

In any case, this week had a lot going on, including the Inauguration of course. My best friends from college came for it, even though I didn't really see them that much. On the day of, it was cold as hell. I got down there at about 5:30AM...in enough time to get in the ticketed standing room area. In there I saw a few celebrities... Samuel L Jackson and Whitney Houston just to name a couple. But of course they had nothing on the man himself... Mr. Obama.

As a result of taking part of such a historical moment in time, I managed to really close to getting frostbite on my feet (they were purple when I took my shoes off in the Air n Space Museum) and catching the flu... which I'm still trying to get over... woohoo!!

In all the while.... the year of change continues... I had 2 interviews...a phone interview on Monday which in his eyes probably didnt go well because he called while I was still sleep. The interview was scheduled for 10:30AM and he called at 9AM. wtf? of course I answered my phone with a bit of an attitude since I'm not a morning person... and I probably sounded groggy as hell. But I answered all his questions. We'll see what happens. The second interview on the other hand, turnedout much better than the first, even though I went up in there sick as hell. It was for a law firm in downtown DC. Everyone seemed cool and down to earth, even though I think they were trying to intimidate me a bit by saying lawyers area bit demanding. I had to inform them that for the 10 years I've been working in the technology field, I have either dealt with military heads or law enforcement. I'm not much intimidated by anything. lol

Either way, they must have liked me. They called me back for a second interview some time next week. The actual day has yet to be scheduled.

In other news, I continue to update my wardrobe. I bought some new dress slacks and dress shirt. Not muc but the business casual/dress clothes upgrade is working out. Eventually I will start buying regular clothes. Becuase I need them. lol
