How desperate can they be?

How desperate can they be?

In April 2004, the company I had been working with for a number of years announced they were moving their headquarters to another part of the country. The move would be final in February 2006. Everyone was given the opportunity to move with the company. I knew I didn’t want to go with them. This meant looking for a new job. I had about 22 months to find a new gig. Plus I was one year shy of being fully vested. I decided to wait till I was vested. But I got myself ready. I posted my resume on every jobs site on the internet. You name it, I posted my resume there. I landed a new job at the end on June of this year. I’ve started, am I am very content.

Tonight when I came home, the phone rang. I have caller ID and saw who was calling. It said US Army recruiting. I answer and said hello, and the fellow on the other end asks to speak with me. I said you’re speaking with him. He tells he is Sergeant %*@^$ , I don't remember his name. He said he came across my resume on dice.com and wants to speak to me about a career in the US Army. I thought this had to be a joke someone is playing on me, but there was that caller ID. He tells me I noticed your resume on dice for over a year, it was constantly being updated. He tells me I think I have the career path for you. I tell him I tell him I landed a job. Plus why would I want to join the Army? I’m in my 40’s. I just told him, sorry, not interested and hung up the phone. Do they do this now, teller market? I should have told him I was on the do not call list.

I thought this was so funny, I had to post it here. Unless I've been duped and don't know it, the military is trying real hard to make their numbers.

Uncle Sam wants you! Careful, he may be gay.

Meaning, you'd be f...ed in the end.

I called the number back from my cell 270 304 1331. The guy answered.

Then it must be true.

Don't you want to got get those suckers that caused 9/11?! (Not Osama, the other other guys who caused 9/11 or were going to someday, you know and that tyrant and all). That's enough incentive isn't it? If not, how about a signing bonus of a brand new Ford F150 pickup truch and some compimentary body armour (not just given to every joe).
