Right now just found out I get to be a GA. Yayyyyyyy for having an income (albeit very restricted) again starting next month.

Right now I am trying to calm my nerves after a VERY annoying phone call with a headhunter. Just this week he has asked me the same questions three times "How long have you worked in this industry? How long have you worked with this technology, or that technology?" Yesterday, he asked me again, and then asked me to send him an email detailing the answers to all these same questions.

First of all: READ MY FOCKING RESUME, ASSHOLE!
Second: I almost forgot to send the email, so instead of going to sleep at 12:30, I stayed up until 1:00am to send him the list.

I talked to him this morning, and he STILL asked the same questions over again. "Well, I can't open two windows at once." Then print it out, moron!

Right now clarifying that GA = graduate assistantship. Basically like a TA position for graduate students. It's only 5 hours a week, because I didn't think I coud handle 10 hours a week and still have a life. Besides, the hourly rate is awesome (the most I've ever made in my life), so it's all good.

Right now he just called me back to ask me about jobs I had 11 and 12 years ago, and asked for my salary history from those jobs.

WHO CARES!?

Right now I don't think that's a real word.
