I think I'm a manure farmer now

#1 Post by gsabc » Fri Nov 15, 2013 1:20 pm

You know the joke, the one who goes out to harvest but finds only farting horses. For me, the recruiters are the gassy equines. They keep calling, and sometimes I get phone and even in-person interviews out of it. But I'm waiting for a job offer. I'm trying to stay positive, but it gets a bit frustrating. As the manure farmer said after a month of nothing but raspberries from the horses, "I can't live on promises!"

Okay, now back to the house stuff. You know how much I love doing that. :roll:

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

No sooner did I write this than I fielded three straight recruiter calls, two of which were followups to arrange phone interviews. Hopefully, not just more gas.

That's the way it goes!

I found a better contract job here (same rate but prime shift and something more than watching lights blink) then had someone call with a perfect permanent job for me. It turned out it was with the same regional bank I'm going to contract to so I can't talk to them due to a non-compete. I have the contracting outfit finding out about the permanent job now.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Hopefully, some of these (or at least one) will pan out.

I've got to say that when I first saw the title of this thread the evil BB in me was wishing I had two MM's set up. One to reply, "Oh, you're a democrat now" and the other to say, "Oh, you're a republican". Just to see what would happen.

Either you have a death wish or just want LB to have more posts to count at the next summary.
