And then this:
And this is a chronology of how I reacted:
Aug 5: "Man! That's soo cool! I'm going to keep this email forever!" (Proceed to forward the email to the nerdy friends I have)
Aug 8: "Errr, why is an Engineering Manager interviewing me? Logic problems? Algorithms? CODING EXERCISES? But I'm a BA! What is this role?"
Aug 10: I get forwarded this link from a friend. "OMG, I can't answer questions like those!!!"
Aug 11-13: Busy setting up Ruby on Rails on my Mac.
Aug 14
10.00hrs: "Hrm, I can't remember anything about Java. Better refresh my memory."
18.00hrs: "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG"
(rock back and forth on chair)
18.30hrs: Flatmate closes doors to living room to give me privacy.
"FCKFCKFCKFCKFCKFCK"
19.01hrs: "WHY HAVEN'T THEY CALLED?!?"
"MAYBE MY DODGY GENERIC BLUETOOTH HEADSET ISN'T WORKING?!?"
19.02hrs: Google calls :)
The guy who interviewed me was really nice. He made the phone interview really easy for me. To be honest, I was a wreck. I stumbled through my questions and I'm not really sure now what I said :P So, another week till I hear back... It's funny how there are some companies out there that I will just worship. I don't remember being this freaked out about an interview before. It doesn't matter if I don't get the job, it's just cool that Google was a part of my life for 31 minutes and 40 seconds :) For those in Rondon, you can check out Google jobs here.

Oh sorry, that first anon was me ;p
That is COOL. I'm impressed at anyone who actually understand things like "java" and "coding" and "algorithms". And it was for Google! *cue girly gasp* Nice work reenie.
one of my good friends just finished an internship at google and a few other guys at school are still there now, i'm sure all have contacts you could hook into if you want... let me know.
fingers crossed!
