The Decision
As I type this entry, my mentor and manager are discussing my final review. In less than an hour they will make the decision whether to hire me. My hands tremble as I think of what they could be possibly saying:
- Chris is a good worker, but just not Microsoft material. NO HIRE.
- Chris is a great employee, but he spends too much time working on his website instead of working. NO HIRE.
- It really gets on my nerves how he says aboot in that Canadian accent. NO HIRE
- Chris has demonstrated excellent work habits and he would be a perfect addition to the team. If only he hadn't been hit and killed by that bus walking home on his last day of work. NO HIRE.
And so on.
I'll post the verdict here as soon as I find oot.
Update: As it turns out, my manager was MIA for the past hour and my mentor was chatting with another employee. But I've been assured they are now together and discussing my review. In the meantime I've been surfing the web, and to my horror, found out that I had been banned from Slashdot! Maybe this is a good sign. Surely Microsoft employees are first on their ban list...
