Well there is the one pouch with a master lock on it that he told me to never open.

Staffing agency pleb may have been blowing smoke. After not hearing I called under the pretense of making sure they didn't need anything else, and was told that my information has been put in front of the account manager and just waiting to hear back from company.

Had an interview with another company today. The dude who interviewed me was a douche. It was a behavioral interview oh "give me an example when you..." style interview and questions. 30 seconds into my first two answers he cut me off and told me he was on a tight schedule and to speed up my answers. He then told me how much of a gamer he was and how he used to be a competitive gamer and he collects old games. We chatted about that for a few and he then told me he had every NES game ever made, I then asked him if he had Stadium Events and I'm always taking offers on mine. He said no, then got mad that the game costs too much.
He asked me a couple more questions, said he would be in contact soon that they were very interested and he would probably give me a call tomorrow.
I'll be nice in my rejection, I already sent an email just now to my other place I interviewed on Tuesday that made the offer, accepting.
It's been an odd week for me with work related shit.

As your attorney Tarrant I advise you not to answer this oddly specific question...

Interesting series of conversations today. My sister bitched to my mom about the place she works. Apparently they are having all kinds of issues so they set up a call to me. I don't know shit about their business.
The guy is some kind of a genius on the technical end but doesn't know anything about actual business. He hired a woman who put in her notice, then decided not to hire her after she put in her notice and then went back and hired her. From what I can gather from what my mom says my sister tells her (my sister and I aren't on speaking terms) this happens a lot. He wanted to know how I learned about business. Umm first of all that isn't free. Second, I didn't do payroll or billing and crap like that. I hired someone to do payroll outside the office and hired a general manager. Keep yourself limited to the technical end of the business and pay people that do know that part. They don't have a general manager and everyone changes jobs and job title every 2 months.
This in a company that works in a half dozen states and has offices in 3.
My advice was to tell my mom to tell my sister to find another job.

Send the backpack to this guy along with a thank you letter. Then forward all calls and emails from your old boss to this guy. In your head, name him New Tarrant.
