I had my worksim interview yesterday, it was fucking hard, there are so many gaps in my knowledge.... but most of it was because I didn't know their methodology and their setup failed on my usual methods.
But I still finished all the tasks that I was set out, plus the Bonus Tasks, so maybe possibly it was good.

Never jumped through so many hoops, it's the third interview. I geninuely wouldn't bet either way if I got it.

Cheers bud, I think I would fit in there, they go to tech meet ups and are really social. I don't think anyone there is over 35 years old, 40 at a push.
I'm pretty sure I would actually be happy there, actually want to go in every day. Their projects are proper ones, and I would learn so much.

Hah, only thing I didn't like, is that their English was extremely perculuar, in terms of how they comments stuff.
I couldn't get my head around "You tell them what you just did.... no, not technical, too many words... too little words... no, that's too simple" And I swear what I first suggested was what we ended up with, only with maybe one word different like maybe "User can now [XYZ]" to "Added [XYZ] option".

I can't explain it, i'll learn it, but it was an adjustment.

to be fair, you do have a somewhat creative approach to written English

Yah', totally, thats why I found that bit hard.
They didn't care if I misspelt words, just that the syntax was right. They were also really tight on tabbing/spacing, but not commenting. I need to see if I can find some kind of auto-filter for that.

I'll play all the bass guitars, and buy some new string s and then be sad I'm not rich anymore.

Just went out with mates for a lovely Salt Beef bagel, it was a proper real deal one.
Plus went to Next, River Island etc, and their clothes all fit me nicely, not only that, but I get away with medium.

Gonna get a new coat and some new clothes next week.

Feel a bit better now.
Turns out getting out of bed and having a shower is more of a cure for man-flu than staying in bed and sweating.

Curry take away is one of those things I've never got in to.
I like curry. I like making curry. I like eating curry, but take away is nearly always Chinese.
