Right there in the middle is the drain pump filter. Once you pull off three torx screws it is pretty easy to get to. It only caused a minor flood when I opened things up too.
Tons of fun.

Washingmachine filter

I didn’t even realize that our machine even had a filter. These new-fangled machines do it all. I can hardly believe the gunk in there. See how many things you can find… Like a where is waldo or something. And yes, one item is infact a sock.
Oh well, thank goodness for the internet and error codes. Now I know what a Whirlpool Duet is saying when it flashes F-02. It means that a sock was sucked into the draining mechanism and all hope is lost.
Not a great day
Tanner struck out and unfortunately that has been the mantra of the day. He has not done too well. He and Kris got into it a bit and has a splitting headache. It is also freezing.
Oh well, there is always tomorrow. It will be a better day.

- Heading into an interview with my former boss. I am not quite sure how to spin this. I am excited to see what he has to say. #
- Interview success – well, at least I think it was a success. I had Chris, a VP, SVP, and the person I’d be replacing. #

Initial Interview
Today I got to go up to Overstock and interview with several members of the Oracle team. I interviewed with Chris Mason, a VP, an SVP, and the person I would be replacing. As I reflect on the 4 on 1 I think I did pretty well. I feel that I was able to answer their questions without much difficulty and the only area that I feel I’m a bit lacking in is that they process thousands of orders per hour, whereas Novell processes thousands of orders in a month. It is a huge volume difference. I’d have to come up to speed on it quickly.
After the interview I got the typical… “We are interviewing and evaluating other candidates – we’ll get back to you”. We’ll see how it goes. The commute would certainly be better. 10 miles versus 37 miles. Not that the commute is the only reason for making a change. There are a lot of good things about Overstock and there are good things happening at Novell as well. I’m not sure what I’ll do if they make me an offer. I guess I’ll cross that bridge when it gets a bit closer.
Anyway – It was a nice day. I was supposed to have two interviews, but ended up only with the one at Overstock. Se la vie.

Tanner strikes out looking
Dude, yes it was a bad pitch, but if it is close you gotta be swinging. No sweat, you guys killed the Dodgers anyway.
Tanner didn’t pull his head
Better and better – Tanner didn’t pull his head when the batter swung. Good job.
Tanner catching
Tanner has always wanted to catch. He is doing a great job. He is still learning, but he learns quickly.
