They wanted me for the remote position. I was pretty stoked. They were having the budget meeting to make me an offer, and then the CEO put hiring on hold Frown | :(

I've been in contact with several head hunters. It's pretty frustrating that you can't keep them from harassing you when you don't want a job, but then you can't get them to answer your emails when you are actually looking. They take your resume, tell you about a few options, and then you never hear from them again.

Either way, this job isn't getting any better. I just wish there was a way out.

Yeah, I am there. It looks like several recruiting agencies post jobs there. I've followed some of those as well.

I don't suppose you're an EE are you? I'm hiring...

Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

I don't know what an EE is, so I'm guessing that I'm not one of those.

I am by no means a UX expert. I've taken some training, but I'm not really a UX'er.

If I can find a job writing utility code/libraries I'd be more than happy.

I can totally relate to that - indeed some of 'em risk to need an update on their business card to headless hunter...

Hang in there loctrice, something will present itself to you, soon enough. Most of us, not all, have been where you are at; it gets better.

Not quite. As a left-hander I'm offended his joke implied that only right-handed people can throw butter.

Easy trigger. We're the only one's in our right mind.

Everyone's born right-handed, but only the best can overcome it. $Shucks | :-\$

I have to admit, I am tired of these April fools gags now that so many people do them.

Or, maybe I'm just a bit cranky today. Sniff | :^)
