h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I currently have a day or two's work as a 'cleaner'. (No - not the mop-and-bucket kind, nor the 'Leon' one.)

I took a free programming test with an online skills testing company (it was a sample/beta test for something they are close to finalising), and came sufficiently high (3rd or 4th out of 400) that I got offered the job of looking through the whole test for things that need improving, relevance of answers, etc, and ceaning up the relevant entries.
It also involves adressing the comments from the beta-testers who bothered to comment, but most seem to be of the form "lame question", "u r testing my patience", or "there is no right answer" (when there definitely is), and can be quickly sidelined.

It will probably end up being two good day's work for $300. I could have rushed it in a day, but I prefer to do a good job, I'm otherwise unoccupied at present, and it is fairly interesting.
It's also rather heartening to be recognised as more-than-competent as a programmer. Despite *knowing* I'm pretty good, outside confirmation every now and then does help the old ego. Though I suppose I should feel a bit guilty, it does also warm the heart a little to be reminded how many bad programmers there are out there.
