Well it seems I arrived in my hotel room at precisely balls o'clock in the morning. FYI dont ever fly to seattle *before* looking up directions to your hotel (screenshots from google maps to follow). Anyhoo.. I'm here my room is nice and I'll be having a fabulous breakfast in a few hours. Then its off to the MS campus where I will undergo all kinds of interesting tests and trials (apparently the microsoft interview process is pretty hardcore). I'll see if I can't get my hands on some swag for you guys but it doesn't seem likely (perhaps a few Vista keys?). Alright that's enough for now I'll post more tomorrow after my interview.

alas i didn't see it before I went. but I did have a good time. got to talk to a bunch of people asked and answered a lot of questions. I didnt get any swag for you guys but I did make it out with a t-shirt :-D
So now i'm going to take a nap and then a MS employee is going to come pick me up at my hotel and take me out to dinner 8-)

A dinner date? Is that just so it's all the more painful if they give you the 'lets just be friends'?

Dude this place is awesome! I basically have my own apartment fully equipped with a queen-sized bed stove full-sized fridge dish washer tons of dishes and other kitchen paraphernalia (they even have a cheese shredder zester and an 11-piece knife set!) fire place washer and dryer (in the room!) tv and a dvd player. It also has a balcony with a decent view of the bay (i'm on the 3rd floor so there's a tree and building blocking part of it). One of my teammates just stopped by and apparently you only get one wireless access code per room so people sharing rooms have to share the connection (lame). I have my own room though! :D
OMG i just discovered that my bed can fold up against the wall! LOL that is so awesome! Living here for 9 weeks is going to be sweet! The only downside is that i've also happened upon a broom mop and vacuum cleaner which leads me to believe that I have to clean up after myself : (

LoL @ cleaning supplies. sounds like you're having a grand time up der in the northwest corner. i'm still holdin it down here in the southeast corner. I think as soon as we get someone up in maine we'll have it pretty much covered.
make sure you zest the hell out of anything you can make an excuse to zest; that's what its there for.
