I'm officially Simon. Yay? Lol

Had an interview this morning which went ok I think. Will find out if I go to the next stage tomorrow.

I am both amused and irritated. Diversity is massive in IT. Until very recently, I was the only person in my team actually born in Australia. Now 2/13 of us were born here.

Whoever is hiring IT people should be able to cope with your name.

Thank you ❤️ Just finished one of those dumb aptitude tests for another job. So silly.

I loathe those things, such pseudo-science.

They're so fucking stupid. It's obvious what they want to hear. Just pepper it with a lot "I'm a bit different" type answers and there you go
