Blog - /Personal

This week, I managed to:

• lose my cell phone AC adapter,
• wipe out most of the /etc directory by accident on a machine I help to maintain, by using a conversion tool for a revision control system (it's a long story — suffice it so say that I should have made a copy of /etc and run the script on the copy),
• due in part to stress and self-loathing induced by the previous item, do not-so-well on a phone interview and fail to get any farther in the Google hiring process.

Method for coping with the latter: eat dinner at Taste of China and watch Spirited Away, reminiscing about the last time I ate at a Chinese restaurant and watched that movie with a roommate.

I estimate that I have spent at least 22 hours in the past two and a half days fixing item number 2.
