Big let down after job interview today.
I went to an interview that said it was a permanent full time job. The guy said I was overqualified, but they offered me the job. Hooray I thought. I ask about the insurance and he tells me no. I told him the monster board said permanent full time. He tells me yes it will turn into that after 9 months. Forget that. I was going to take it even though the pay was way lower than what I made so me and Mrs bearfan could have insurance. We have cobra for 60 more days. I still get severance for 6 more weeks and unemployment so I am going to keep plugging away. I hate when they BS you on an ad.

3. Thanks madmax
I might just have to eat some shit eventually and take a low paying job at 47. I'll do it if I have to.

4. Sorry Bearfan. I hope you find your dream-job real soon.
Afterall, the economy is the best in 20 years, right.

5. Some repukes actually believe that.
I guess if you make over 200k a year it is good for you.
