And we thought Adecco was the weird one.

So I had my interview with Adecco and they'll call me if they get any 11+ an hour job offers, which they seemed fairly optimistic about. True they hooked me up to an electroshock machine and forced me to take ridiculous pictures for their "yearbook." They also tried to slip a form in between the W2 and the Background check page, saying they could surgically remove my lips so that I could better fit the Adecco Image. But reguardless of all this, they were normal compared to this other agency. I'm not gonna use this agency's name, for reasons that they would be likely to maim and kill me if they found out I was releasing this information, so I will call it Jobs'R Us.

I first contacted JRS last week, when I called EVERY PLACEMENT SERVICE in Springfield. I informed every company of my situtation and used the same speech on all of them on how I've got student loans, want a different line of work, moving as soon as I secure employment and need at least 11/hour. I made appointments with 2 of the places that thought they could help me and sent more or less pointless resumes to the other ones (so they could "keep on record.") The weirdness started happening on Tuesday when I got the phone call from a lady I had spoken to once and for like 3 minutes:

Hey Rob, it's ______ from _____. And I noticed you're on the schedule and I wanted to forewarn you that I am back. I just did want you to walk in shocked and be like, "What are you doing here? Didn't you close your business?" Yes I did close my business... ...Its kind of awkward to talk right now because my office is right off the main room and the secretary can hear every word that I'm saying... ...she's gone right now and I imagine I'll have 15 minutes of privacy where I can actually talk... ...so if you could give me a call in the next 15 minutes that would be great... ...Thanks again, bye Rob.

I had NO IDEA what this woman was talking about. I seriously felt like I had been drunk dialed by my prospective employer. Or at least "Drama Dialed," because that's what I think that place is right now, more drama than a college sorority house. I called back the next day (I had afterall missed my 15 minute window by the time I got the message) and spoke with this lady again. She didn't acknowledge the previous phone call or act as if she knew me, although she knew she was talking to the person she called earilier. When I confirmed my appointment and the 11 an hour she told me "actually that's the extreme upper end of our pay range, I'd hate for you to waste your time. I can just cancel your appointment." I didn't suggest canceling, she did... it was weird, I almost felt like she was getting rid of me. Reguardless - its hardly and environment I wanted to get tangled up in... sheesh.
