Awk

Just came out of a job interview where I spent an hour wrestling with awk. Would you believe that it was for a position as a computer programmer? At first, I didn't. I also didn't know that the language even existed, plus until I saw the name written out, I thought that it was spelt "ock", like Spider-man's nemisis. Instead it was named after a flightless bird, which was appropo since my one program that I hashed together didn't get off the ground! Bleh.

Anywho, I need to head off home right now. We don't have internet at home YET, hence the update from the library downtown, a block from where I had the interview. I would imagine that Telus will have our phone and internet hooked up soon, because I do like them as a telecommunications provider, and I would hate for them to lose a customer.

Moving took an interesting turn yesterday, as we discovered that a corner of the living room carpet was damp, and we had the window shut during the rain storm that we had three days ago. Andy, our landlord, figures that there is something the matter with the weeping tile or something to that effect. I sure hope not, because that would be a pain to fix!
