First, over 900 people came to the the bone marrow donor drive. Hopefully there will be a match or two or three dozen made from that.
Second, I have an interview tomorrow for a full-time position as a Sr. Systems Engineer. It's very similar to my old job, except with some additional responsibilities for things like disaster recovery planning and policies, and input on all technology-related projects and purchases. I have high hopes that this will go well, I seemed to hit it off just fine on the phone interview with the two people I talked to.
My part-time job isn't going so well. I'm using Fedora 7, which was simple enough to install, Vexira anti-virus which was only marginally troublesome, and qmail, which seems to have no installation instructions for Fedora, as everthing I've seen claims to use inetd.conf. This is a bit of problem, as there's no documentation for the current system, so I'm going to have to spend time reading boot logs and other stuff to figure out how everything is working right now so I can get the new version installed. My real problem is I have no idea where the pain threshold lies for me trying to decipher this from the guy I'm doing the work for. He's not the most communicative when it comes to details beyond "get it done". I had hopes of keeping this job after I got a fulltime one, but now I'm hoping tomorrow's interview go so well that I get a job offer next week so I can give notice and be done with this part-time one.
