So today I got a nice email from a recruiter. Apparently, you can get hired based on your cookware...
From Recruiter Email:
Hi Steve,
My name is Katharine and I am a job recruiter with *Local Recruiting Service*. We are actively sourcing for someone with a similar skillet to yours for a Designer/Engineer.
...
Wonder what they'll have me cooking up 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It's a hot prospect, you should follow it up if you want to be on the gravy train - or you will be right in the soup.

He should take your advice with a pinch of salt.

Or I could end up out of the pan, and into the fire... I must weigh my options carefully.

No, I can't let it get punitive. It'll get cooked all out of proportions.

It's the poor girl's spell checker lacking the word skill set probably. I have a lot of sympathy for honest job recruiters, but unfortunately get spammed mainly by indian subsidiaries for 6 month contracts, and they read my resume that I have been with the same company for 12 years ... at some point I made my accounts on these web sites invisible.
When they screw up some project in India and they have to deliver to North America, they usually hire some poor local to fix the mess for a couple of months ... if they can find someone.
Unfortunately I was forced to put in my spam list every indian name that sends me an email. Always the same tired BS.

It was not a misspelled word.

Yeah it was. BTW, just got another spam for a J2EE contract in Halifax of all places. If someone is interested I think I still have the email in the spam folder

So you assert that 'skillet' is incorrect?

Well, of course what was I thinking. The only mystery remaining is how and when did he manage to show her his skillet

Maybe they will allow you to wok from home.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
|
|

|
|
 Or, if it's close enough, I could just wok there.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

This way?[^] (Sorry, but you will most probably not get to see the Wok world championships in English)

Actually, that was the split-pea curry I had last night.

Write back and ask him what skillet he's referring to
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Just send back a reply: My skillet is huge, and well seasoned.

Sounds like a temporary job, just a flash in the pan.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Don't do it - sounds like you might be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
