    .... what would you've done if she said that to someone who was too stupid/drunk to realize that someone was playing a cruel joke on her?

      Sorry to hear that John :( I changed industries because this happened to me a few times, now in a better sector (semiconductors).

      Are you hoping to eventually move to complete conductors?

        I submitted three resumes this morning from postings on Craigs List and (reluctantly) agreed to meet with a placement agency rep. There were more, but I wasn't qualified enough for them. I go for at least a 75% match on skills/requirements. If I can't match at least 3 of 4 stated requirements, I don't waste their time until it gets down to the short hairs on the duration of unemployment.

          They say Obama wants to hand $250 to seniors, maybe you could apply for that :-D In all the seriousness though, GL with your job search.
