...I was desperate for ANY job and applied to a mom-and-pop communications outfit (40-ish supercilious Indian man and his equally haughty American wife). Got called in for an interview. Was immediately chastised for being late... (In fact, I had the time right, and THEIR secretary had gotten the time wrong.) An immediately sick feeling in my stomach (which flashed me back to my childhood) was not conducive to a potentially happy work relationship. Nor was the fact that the job was only about 11 miles from my home, yet took me an hour-and-a-half to get to and from with traffic.
THANKFULLY, my current job hired me before the wife called me up to offer me a "trial period."
And delighted to see online, via Indeed mails, that this same company is STILL advertising, for the third time since 2019, for a writer/editor.
My life would have been absolute shit had this crappy duo "accepted" me back in 2020. As is, I have a great job that pays much more and is run by relatively normal people, AND I can still work from home. Admittedly, my current situation could end at any minute, but... while it goes on, as it has for the past 2 years, it's the perfect job. I am VERY grateful for my current situation.
