Scott’s Spiel

The blog of a Glasgow medical student, St Andrew’s first aider, Mactard and slacking web developer.

Finished!

Posted by Scott on March 13, 2007 at 7:15 pm in: General.

Finally, I got it done. Just over the 2k word count, but that’s OK. I was determined to get it done for tonight so I wouldn’t have to get up tomorrow and face finishing it. Now I can go and enjoy certain people’s birthdays only having to worry about how little money I’ll end up with.

In another note, Glasgow finally broke and gave out some precious offers. Thankfully, the person I wanted to get one did, so all is good. I’m helping out at the applicant’s day on Tuesday, kinda looking forward to meeting all the future 1st years.

Mum’s birthday tomorrow, so I’m out that night too. Year night out on Thursday. Goodbye for some people Friday. Probably more drinking Saturday…it’s a busy week.

Still not heard back from the phlebotomy job I applied for. I do wish they’d hurry up. Being on a ward today kinda reminded me how little experience I have of that and would love to do a little bit a week. We’ll see.

Time to go get some drink in me!

    You’ve turned into a complete alcofrolic now haven’t you, Scott!

    sounds good though, I’m only jealous… unfortunately I only have like 2 opportunities to get completely bladdered per week. As opposed to your, 7?

    Heard back from a couple job places myself, one is going to call me to give me a “technical test” lmao. The guy who called me first had no idea, and gave me a random sample queston of:
    “With what inbuilt PHP command would you print an array recursively?”

    I only hope they’re all that easy! Still thinking about the Zend PHP Qualification, though might wait until I’ve finished maths (evil)

    Anyway, since this is shaping up to be longer than your original post, and probably the longest comment ever (!) I’ll leave it at this!

    Adios
    Paul

    Hope you enjoyed Kushion!! Good luck with the phlebotomy, let me know if/when you hear back. I’m tidying up my CV at the moment in anticipation of a p/t job whilst at Uni, so you have to wish me luck for that too.

    Speak soon,

    Jennifer.

    Ah but Paul, there are 2 commands which would do that (possible more)…which would you pick? 7 seems about right, more poor liver. Let us know how it goes.

    Didn’t get to Kushion :( Long story, ended up at Bamboo instead. Was still a good night. Kushion is on the cards tonight though. Yuk, job while at Uni ain’t fun. Good luck for when you apply though.

    Job while at Uni is fine for me - I’m a lazy Humanities student, remember ;) none of this 9 to 5 lecture crap for me!!

    Bamboo is nice, I’ve only been in briefly though. Glad you had a good night.

    (I like the way this stores my name and email address so I don’t have to put it in each time…nice touch.)

    Well, I’d pick print_r() lol, nice and easy..

    What’s the other you’re thinking of? a loop (foreach)? could be clever and do it with a while loop, though that’s just, stupid haha.

    No call yet, I think I’ll have to stay in this job for a fair while anyway really, to be fair! Since they’re paying like 1500+ to take me to china etc.. and my boss just gave me a free desk for home :-D

    probably a couple months, then I’ll have a serious look!

    Check out all the comments! Mr. Popular!

    Thanks, Jennifer…took me ages to code all that. Bamboo can be nice, not as nice as Kushion though.

    var_dump() Paul? Geez, kids these days. A free desk? :S Can’t complain about China though, fair game.

    print_r() is less letters!
