Did you hear anything from her today? I think waiting is one of the most frustrating aspects of looking for work!

That's funny that you called the recruiter back -- and so lucky that they turned you down. I once tried to get my old job back after realizing I'd made a HUGE mistake in accepting a job that turned out to be complete different from what I expected. It took me four and a half years to correct that mistake!

Wow, and I just realized something: that job that was a huge mistake - the person I first interviewed with at that place was the woman who is trying to get me to come to her current company. Back then, like now, she was in a really senior position and had a strong vision for what the job would be --- but when I actually showed up to work, my boss was a jerk and he decided he'd rather have me do menial labor instead of project management. No wonder I'm reluctant to take this job on - it's the same exact set up!!!

You are right that the boss makes all the difference. I think for my next day job that I should just pick it out based on my boss...

I did hear back from this place, btw, but not my friend. The guy wrote back. Now he wants me to come in for an interview with even more people. My car is acting up, so doing this for six months may be in my best interest. I could always quit in May when the weather gets nice again
