I'm officially Simon. Yay? Lol

Had an interview this morning which went ok I think. Will find out if I go to the next stage tomorrow.

I am both amused and irritated. Diversity is massive in IT. Until very recently, I was the only person in my team actually born in Australia. Now 2/13 of us were born here.

Whoever is hiring IT people should be able to cope with your name.

They're so fucking stupid. It's obvious what they want to hear. Just pepper it with a lot "I'm a bit different" type answers and there you go
