Out of the blue..

• Post categories: Omni, My Life

People who've been reading this blog for longer than's good for them might remember that a few months ago, I was contacted, through this blog, by somebody who wanted me to write a white paper about Linux for Microsoft.

This evening, I log on and glance at Thunderbird, only to see a letter from a google.com address: I came across your website ... wanted to reach out to you and check if you might be interested in exploring career with Google

I confess to a certain amount of surprise...

Teaching vs Google is a no brainer... Are there Google sites where you live tho?

Wow...

That's...wow.

Are you going to find out more? Or stick with your current course?

WB and kudos. Are they actually from Google or are they just a recruiting agency?

I asked for some extra details. But after waiting nearly two years to get onto this damn course, the odds of me dumping it after barely a month are almost zero.

But hey, it's a nice ego boost ;o)

Oh, and yeah, it's from an official Google bod.

If it pays more and you will potentially enjoy the work more, the two years of waitning should be flushed down the toilet, no?

That's one hell of a big "If"
