Shortest Job In History

So, I was offered a job. Hold your congratulations until the end of this story. Trust me.

I went out for a job about two weeks ago, and the interview went really well.  I got along with my future boss, as well as everyone else who interviewed me. Everything came up aces. I was told by my headhunter that it would take about two weeks to get everything set up and cleared.

I got the call yesterday that I got the job. "Woo hoo!" I said! Then I hung up the phone and proceeded to dance around my living room. I may or may not have been wearing pants.

Then the phone rings again.

The headhunter tells me that the company has decided to institute a hiring freeze. I do not have the job after all.

There was considerably less pantsless dancing in my living room after that phone call. The headhunter was royally pissed off, I must say. Probably because he is now missing out on his commission. I feel his pain - I am missing out on a PAYCHECK.

So, here's hoping my interview on Thursday goes much better. Perhaps I will have a job for more than 30 seconds this time!
