...and sometimes Google googles you.

Hi flexagon,

I am a Technical Recruiter at Google. I am
making contact with you to determine your current level of interest in
discussing career opportunities here at Google. As you might imagine, our
current openings cover a very wide range of engineering challenges. If you
are interested and available, please send me a word version of your resume
and let me know when would be a good time to call. I look forward to working
with you.

Regards,
J-----

This totally makes my day. Or at least a good fraction thereof. :)

WOW. Go you!

Wow- that's awesome! You going to write back?

[flexagon]

Course I am. I'll tell him no thanks for now, but I hope he doesn't mind if I hold onto his contact info in anticipation of the time when I am more available. :)

Flexygoogle!

WOW! To echo everyone else, I know, but what else can I say? That's AWESOME!

[flexagon]

'tsokay. Since you are a fellow coder, your 'wow' counts extra. You probably know the same things I do about working for Google and getting to use all your Fridays for your own projects.

Ah, Gooooooooogle. I'm not available, but still, this feels a bit like Orlando Bloom calling to ask if I want to go out on Friday night. Er, no thank you, but I feel all fizzy anyway! :)

That's a bit surreal... are you going to answer it?

[flexagon]

Oh yeah. I'll say I'm flattered, not available at this time but hoping he doesn't mind if I hold onto his contact info for a later date. :)

It's not that surreal the way things have been going lately. I've been approached by Microsoft and a bunch of random headhunters already. The only surreal bit was that he wrote to my Colubrid account... right, as if I'm going to hit "reply" from there!
