You Don't Have To Be a Mathematician

*sigh*

My life.

The personal assistant job was too good to be true.

I met with the CEO on Wednesday, which was supposed to be a meeting about pay, but he said that he would talk to his partner and he would have an answer by today.

I spoke with him today and he tried to give me the run around. The purpose of him looking for assistance was for an event on the 11th (next week), but he never finalized the type of assistance he would need.

When I asked him if he talked to his partner, he talked around the answer, which meant that he talked to him, but not about money. He then had the nerve to say,'Well, let's just focus on the event since that's less than a week away, then we'll go from there.'

I couldn't believe what I heard so I asked to him to say it again.

'Let's just focus on the event, then we'll take it from there.'

I made myself clear in letting him know that I wasn't comfortable with that and he told me to call him in a few weeks if I was still interested, if the position is still open.

The nerve! He tried to get me to work for free! Had he flat out said that he didn't have much money and that he was looking for volunteers, I just might have done that a few hours a week. But the fact that he tried to smooth talk me into working for no money...No. Correction; work for gas, makes me so angry!

*sigh*

I definitely learned my lesson. No numbers, no job.
