So I get this Job offer today...

Well actually a couple of days ago a local car stereo shop finds out I have been looking for a job and the owner calls me.

So I tell him I am not sure I want to go back to car stereo again, although i can install or manage a shop in my sleep, I just don't know if I want to go back to that.

Anyway he says he will make me a great offer that will be more than worth my while.

So I say okay I'll talk with you, and he suggests we meet today at the local Starbucks away from the shop.

So yesterday I go in to shop the store. Luckily he doesn't recognize me (even though my face has been in dozens of issues of Car Stereo and Mobile Electronics), any way I go in a pretend I am interested in a CD for my RX-7 and an alarm.

So other than a couple of typical salesman's product lies (or exaggerations as they are often called by store managers) the shop checks out okay... well okay if the money is good. I am not working right now so maybe I run his shop for a while and then get back into Telcom stuff.

So I show up for the interview today and the owner never shows. I wait a half hour and leave.

If this guy treats his potential employees that way how would he treat an actual employee. I say I am going to be somewhere I mean it. This guy doesn't.

What a flake

Too bad you weren't interested in relocating to the Sierra foothills. We're looking for a Telco Systems Tech.

Yeah Tahoo would be a bit of a comute for me right now (about 3 hours a direction as I recall).

I am not in a real rush to work again, I have been on paid leave for the past 2 months, and my severance package starts today with pay for two more months, but not working for a couple of months and your fingers start getting itchy to work again.
