escape to insanity

For the last two months, I’ve been trying to find a job. Unfortunately, it’s proving more difficult than I expected. Well… a few weeks ago I was contacted by a staffing company representing one of their clients who need someone to do some website work for them. Fairly basic stuff, just moving content from their existing site to a new template.

Had a few meetings, with the most recent one being this last Friday (the 13th). I met with the two people who are actually more or less in charge of the project I’d be working on, had a nice chat, found out some information about the project, all was fine. They said they needed to get final approval to go ahead from their director, and that they’d get back to me no later than Wednesday of this week. Wednesday came and went, no response. I talked to the staffing agent, who told me that they’d been unable to get ahold of this manager, but that they’d call me back by 10:30am of the next day, Thursday. Well, 10:30am Thursday came and went, no response. I call the guy back again, he says he still can’t get a response from these managers. He says if I don’t hear back by noon today (Friday), call back and find out what’s going on. So… I do. He says, again, that he’s going to try to get ahold of these managers and get back to me. Well… it’s 4:41pm and I have yet to hear anything. Ten minutes ago I got to leave a voicemail for him, and now it’s the weekend.

Is it really all that difficult to just make some phone calls and say yes or no? I don’t even care at this point if I got the job or not. I just want to know. I just want a yea or nay. I’m sick of getting jerked around by this company, telling me they’ll get back to me as soon as they can and then never actually getting back to me.

This is getting to be frustrating.
