San Diego Uni High Class of ‘87 Reunion

February 16, 2007 in general | No comments

University of San Diego High School CrestI emailed Cathedral High wondering if there were plans for a University of San Diego High School Class of 1987 Reunion. This year it will have been twenty (TWENTY!) years since I graduated from Uni. I got back this reply:

There are plans. Martin Correia is chairing the event and is in the midst of putting the committee together. The reunion will be held the weekend of October 5-7. The 10 year reunion will be held at the same time (not in the same venue of course). Friday night will be a casual cocktail party here at CCHS with tours led by our students for those interested, light food, music, and beer and wine. Saturday night would be up to the individual classes to plan. We would bring the classes back on Sunday for a mass here in our chapel. I will get the details up on the web as soon as possible with a contact for Martin so that you can get the latest from him. I hope this helps.

Not sure I’ll be able to make it, but it’s good to know.

Guidelines for Recruiters

February 10, 2007 in general | 4 comments

  1. If, on my resume, I indicate where I live, and that I am not interested in relocating; please do not suggest that I work in New York, Minnesota, Arizona, Florida, Nevada, or any other state where I don’t live.

  2. If your accent is so thick that I cannot understand you, I have no way to return your call.

  3. California is a pretty big place, you might want  to check to see how close the job is to me. Google Maps is free to use. (see #1)

  4. Palo Alto, San Francisco, and Sacramento would not be reasonable commuting distances for me, as I do not have a jet aircraft.

  5. It’s “Mac” not “MAC.”

  6. It’s not  “Pearl”, it’s “Perl.”

  7.  Java is not JavaScript, though this is a confusing point even for some people who work in my business. I forgive you this one.

  8. If you ask me what my salary requirements are, please don’t be surprised if I’m not excited about the great opportunity that’s thirty-thousand dollars less than what I’ve indicated. Sure, there’s wiggle room about such things—negotiation is an artform—but a 30K difference might be a problem.

  9. If you call me and say you’re going to email me something, please email me the thing you said you’d email me. I can be very slack in the past about this, but I now understand the problem, and am doing my best to rectify it.

  10. In your phone messages, if you say your phone number very fast could you at least repeat it once?
