So this morning, a few minutes ago, I got a phone call.

"Hello, this is [blah-blah]. Could you please hold for a moment?"

Me: "Ummm.. Well, maybe. What's this about?" (And I'm thinking: This sounds like a typical telemarketer. But this is a cell phone. They aren't supposed to call cell phones.)

"The position you called about."

"Oh, alright. I'll hold." Ok. I called about a position at $blah_blah, did I? Which ad was this? I don't remember trying to contact any business by this name. When did I call? Was that last week, or on Monday? What kind of position was it?

Five seconds later. "Thank you for holding. We can setup an interview with you at 10:00 if you like."

I look at the clock. 9:05. I have no idea what or where this thing is. "Where are you located?"

She gives a street intersection, which I know to be somewhere down in the southern Denver area.

"Um.... I don't think I can be there by 10:00. How about something a little later?"

"We can get you in at 11:45."

"Alright. 11:45. So you're at $street and $street?"

Slightly more detailed directions follow, including a specific address. She said that they prefer if I could bring in a resume for the interview. Sure.

I have no idea what this place is, or what they do, or what the job involves. I don't know which ad it was. But it must have been something I called. Looking back at the Denver Post, there were quite a few ads I had marked which simply contained anonymous and vague words such as "office help wanted", with the only contact info being a phone number. It must have been one of those.

Honestly, I'm wondering if it's really a good idea to even go to this interview, because according to mapquest, if that's where the job is, it would be a fairly huge commute, not to mention the gas I'd spend getting there today.

And I might have a better offer coming in from the (much closer) place I interviewed yesterday, but I don't know for sure.

I say this job hunting thing is a crazy mind game. Well, maybe I'll just wander down there in a bit anyway, just for the hell of it. Gotta take a shower first.

Crazy, I say. Crazy.
