No go on employment

[laura_seabrook]

The job fell thru.

My potential; employer was saying things like "Well my wife and I think it'd be a great idea, but..." and the "BUT" was basically that he couldn't afford me. I phoned him yesterday and he said that he hadn't done anything to raise the money for it.

"Huh?"

I didn't say anything at the time, but it was pretty clear that I was getting the run-around. Went in to see Amy today, and after a bit of discussion, we discovered that this isn't the first time he's acted like this. Said the same thing August last year about someone else they sent there.

Right.

Time to move on. Don't know exactly where to though I did get AMY to print the list of TAFE courses available at Glendale, Newcastle, and Hamilton branches.

Here's the weird thing - I feel disappointed, yes. But I also feel relieved.

Maybe I should focus on doing something for this years "More than Pink" exhibition in October.

Sounds like you lucked out not getting it! I'd bet that even if you'd have started there, he'd have been a mess to work for.

Maybe...

...you're right. I suspect he'd want to "pay me in kind" - that is, give me stock instead of $$$.

Sorry to hear, but you're better off not working for someone like that I suspect...
