Got this weird e-mail in my box today:

drjohn01_booma9
CONTACT HIM THROUGH HIS EMAIL (eric_more@excite.com)

Nothing else, just that---oh, wait, there was an attachment--which I refuse to open. I'm willing to bet it's either a virus, a scam artist, or porn--or maybe, all three...but one of the main reasons I stopped using Yahoo so much, is these jerks and their stupid Spam....yahoo does a really crappy job, policing spammers, I've found. I throw people into the "spam" section--and two weeks later, the spammers are back--so Yahoo doesn't really weed them out well at all.

But, sorry---no. Not contacting anyone, I don't personally know, or whom isn't up front with mea about who they are, and what exactly he or she wants. Not gonna' happen in this lifetime, chum.

Did get a job offer--good job...but again, it's in Albany, 50 miles away...it would cost too much in bus fare, to go there each day--about $30 to $40 (15 to 20 pounds) a day, to get there..not to mention, having to lose a day's pay, and pay bus and cab fare, just to get to the interview!

The job is as a call centre rep for a loan company--10 to 12 dollars an hour to start (I'm presently making $7.92 an hour--WAS making $9 an hour, before the pay cut), but still..I'd be nuts to even consider it---bus schedules being what they are, I'd be gone from half-past six in the morning, to 10 pm at night, five or six days a week--and, be shelling out roughly $150 a week in transport cost, for the privledge! Thanks, but no thanks. I'd not mind the hour to hour and a half commute to Albany, but the waiting around bus stations for hours, and the high cost of bus fare--even with a discounted commuter ticket--not worth it.
