Hi Hvert,

Oh wow. That is just nuts. I think I said it before, but this guy just gets more and more unbelievable. Either he's totally crazy (as in, literally experiencing dementia) or he's really just screwing around with you. Who does stuff like that? I especially *love* that he hasn't actually told you about the meeting yet! I hope you let your friend know that? Because, it sounds like he's setting you up here (maybe I'm just paranoid) - like he doesn't tell you, you don't show up, then he can say... "Well, how can we hire this person who doesn't even bother to show up for meetings!".

Maybe he conveniently "forgot" to tell you? (OK, to be fair, maybe he sent you an email and it got lost in cyberspace - I know that happens too sometimes. But with this guys track record?!)

I'm sorry it's turning into such a circus. I hope you can find something infinitely better!

Thanks for the suggestions for my stuff! I actually have that book (Cubicle Nation) - at least an early copy of it! I was taking a teleclass with Pam Slim, but the class wasn't working out for me - so instead of a refund, she asked if I wanted to do a couple private coaching sessions. She's really awesome! And, she sent me a pre-press copy of the book from that! I've thumbed through it, but I don't think I really sat down and read it, so I'll put that back on my list... (I'm sort of drowning in therapy-type books right now, so not sure I can start something new at the moment).

Interesting exercise about writing "the worst job in the world" description - neat!

And... gosh, I'm sort of dying to know why you can't admit what you really want to do to yourself! No pressure - you don't have to tell me - but if you ever want to talk about it

Thanks!
