the shutdown, interviews, memory loss and rain

the little firm in which i was working closed down, one fine morning. we were given a few hours to leave the office. our personal cds were confiscated and scanned for company data, we were frisked when we left the office. i was not sad about any of this. i was a little sad that, all the work we did was going nowhere, and later another day, i was really angry when i found that i lost some of my personal data that the company was supposed to restore to me, some body deleted all the data that were kept as zip files. my friend used to share tit bits from her life with me, like photos, writings and all over the messenger, and i used to store them. the loss of that collection made me sad.
interviews are fun, mostly. like the one today, in which the interviewer was a really learned fellow. he asked a technical question, which i answered wrong, and using a series of other questions proved to me that i had all the knowledge to answer the first question, but i was not thinking enough:). and there was this guy who tried to ridicule my work, just on the basis of some small questions. i don't have a great memory, which puts me in some trouble when these guys go for the specifics. but i know how good some of these work were, and felt a little irritated, that he was treating them as silly. but i kept my cool.
less memory has its good sides also, like yesterday. after a week a hot climate, it suddenly started raining. i started walking home with an umbrella, and it was a refreshing experience. all the rain and lightning. it was as if i was walking in the rain for first time.
