So close…

…but not close enough. My temp agency and I spent the morning getting me set up with an assignment with a software company’s call center. Everything was looking good (including running me through some quick tests that verified my typing speed at 80 WPM, and a combination listening/data entry test that I apparently scored around double the average score on), they handed me the address of the call center, and I headed back home to wait for the confirmation call.

Once I got home, I hit the Seattle Metro Online Trip Planner to figure out how to get to the call center — and realized that it was about a two-hour commute that involved a one mile walk. Wow. Much as I need to find another job, that’s a bit much, so I had to call back and let them know that, much to my chagrin, I had to turn down the assignment. Bummer.

Back to square one…
