So I set up this meeting yesterday evening, for tonight at 5 pm, for a personal assistant job. This was one of those cushy "too good to be true" kind of gigs. Guy had it in his budget to have a secretary come in for four hours a day, four days a week at $500 a week. Job requirements included filing, typing (i've got 65 wpm easy), and answering phones. Also a sense of humour and being office eye candy (I asked, no sexual favours required). I got all dolled up, bussed down to the pub we had arranged to meet for drinks at for a first impressions kind of interview. I sat there till 5:20 and then messaged him to see where he was. Apparently he TEXTED me this morning at 11 that the position was filled last night and he was cancelling. I didn't get said message till he texted me in response.
I want to be pissed off at the guy for not letting me know, ie not calling or emailing me, but I can't justify being all that mad at him because he did, technically, message me to let me know the meeting was cancelled. Granted he did use the LEAST reliable form of communication, but he did attempt to communicate. I am pissed off at him for not at least meeting with all the candidates before picking one (how totally unfair!)
I want to be pissed at Verizon for not sending my messages through till late, but that's one of the hazards of text messages (see above).
So now I'm sitting here, frustrated, with no real target and a desire to kick something really hard till part of it shatters...
This kind of crap ever happen to you?
