Re: A Thread for Random Musings
A day that was good and furstrating.
The good part: I had contacted someone who advertised that they bought Magic Cards last week and left a message. Today I heard from them. I wound up meeting them and selling all my cards. I also got the check today from selling some stock that had finally gotten above water again.
So looks like I have a little extra breathing room.
The frustrating part: Got a call from a recruiter. There's a job in Vancouver, WA. that needs some Senior QA starting Monday. Can I go interview tomorrow? She mentions the rate, sounds like $40/hr. That's doable, but it didn't sound like $40. I ask her to say it again. Ah, my brain just didn't want to be that insulted. $14! WTF! Several rude comments about this job cross my mind, but then I put the control back and just comment "That seems awfully low especially considering the requirments you listed." She tells me she's been hearing that alot and mentions she was yelled at. (big surprise...) We talk a bit longer.
I decide I want to go to this interview. It's a bit of practice and I could use the airing out. I also have the ulterior motive of just seeing what the heck HP is smoking. So I give her my email so she can send the directions and I can send my resume' back. I don't get an email from her. I check the filters and nope. Drat.
