Well, I guess.

On the other hand, anybody with a real education would already know how 
to do algebra and solve equations. It's only me who's had to guess that 
stuff from what I can scrounge off the Internet and invent off the top 
of my head.

Hey, I think the entire freakin' server is unanimous in this agreement 
that I need another job. You won't find me arguing! The question is, can 
I actually get one? Am I good enough?

I'm a little... concerned that I didn't get one of those "thank you for 
your application" type emails when I sent the form in. It asks for an 
email address, and typically they do that kind of them.

Oh... oh God. Did I type my address wrong?!? o_O

Also not amusing: Sending my details over an unencrypted link? What, you 
couldn't afford HTTPS??

We shall see.
