The adorable Afshaan and Kate, pre-drinks. We make a great venting team.
Favorite job search story of the week:
On Monday the creepy IT guy (you know who I mean: the one who stares too long and gets really nervous during conversation) stopped by my office with a hand-written note.
IT guy: You got another job yet?
me: No
IT guy: Call this guy. He'll give you a job.
me: Wow, thanks.
IT guy: It's just a lead. Just call him and tell him you know me. He'll give you a job.
me: Cool. Thanks, man.
IT guy: It's just a lead.
me: Okay, thanks so much.
The IT guy leaves and I look at the note. He's given me the name, phone number, and email address to become a customer sales rep at this website.
Lingering questions:
1. What on earth would make the creepy IT guy think I would want to work for a police supply website?
2. How does the creepy IT guy know about the website?
3. Should I be afraid to be alone with the creepy IT guy?
4. Is there such a thing as negative networking or reverse helpfulness?
Everyone keeps telling me I need to be open to possibilities, but I think this lead might be a bit extreme.
Hot Alexis at work. I'm giong to miss seeing her everyday!
Great news! A story of mine is going to be published in Geurnica. More on this soon.
