job offer

Okay...

I took my cage to the vehicle testing station on Friday for a WOF, was sitting there flicking through a magazine when a guy standing by the counter being served turned around and said "I'm sure I know you, you have a face people remember." (yeah dude I'm hid its why I'm remembered) He would have been about in his mid or late 40's then again these days its hard to tell how old people are. Anyway, I didn't recognize him, and it was left at that.

Well curiousity got the better of me and I thought he may have been a fishermen off one of the boats a friend of mine from the UK worked with. Hell he looked like the guy, so I approached him and asked if he owned a boat and had anything to do with the tournaments etc etc that are held here in the Bay of Islands. Well, my bad that wasn't the case.

We got talking and he started asking where I worked etc etc. I wouldn't tell him. He then asked me if I work in massage parlour, then laughed a little.

Next thing you know he's going on about his wife whos just been in a major car accident, how shes almost lost her foot, strangely he didn't seem to be at all upset. Told me he runs his own business and told me how his wife may "need a hand" doing office work.

I thought "ok well this is my number" (gave him celly number) and told him to give me a call.. After giving him the number he then says.. "how old are you..?" "i'm 18" "ok thats sweet.." "oh are you busy.. would you like to come have a coffee with me?" I declined, and went on my merry way.

I recieved a call at about 10pm last night from the guy, I mean.. who calls someone that late to discuss a job? God even friends of the family have respect, and know not to call that late..

something about the "massage parlour" joke kind of got to me, then after the call he didn't get "straight to the point" bout the office work, gut instinct tells me to stay away and that something smells "fishy" (it ain't Fish) Or is my mind wandering too much and I could actually lose out on a decent job opportunity cause my gut instincts telling me the wrong things? Should I just ignore the next phone call and not answer?

If there could be a decent job in for you then go for it! Just be aware of your instincts, be completely honest with him about the kind of work you are and are not prepared to do and take it form there... If he turns out to be a wanker leave it at that. At least you'll have something to laugh about in years to come.

[Karma]

Ignore it... probably has some kinda fetish problem or something.

Maybe he cut his wifes foot off... apparently amputees are sexy to some people.

I'd call someone at 10pm about a job.

Does he, perhaps, run/own the massage parlour. Perfectly possible to work in a massage parlour in a clerical (or cleaning etc) capacity without having to "put it out".

Lots of people who run their own businesses are so busy during the day actually DOING business, that they have to spend all evening doing all the shit the gubberinment demands to do as well. So they don't actually finish until late.

And if he runs a massage parlour, I guess that would be a late hours type business.

As Ms Str8_jacket suggested, find out what's entailed, just make it absolutely explicitly clear what you are and are not prepared to do.

[Biff]

If he asks for a meet - meet in a public place during the day. Preferably with a friend.

[NotaGoth]

Str8 Jacket I am well aware of "gut instincts" usually they don't let me down, if they do mum usually picks up something and warns me. Usually ends up being for a good reason. Sadly she isn't here right now to do that.

Thing is I stupidly never asked him what sort of "business" he runs, I should have done that but I had a blonde moment. All I know is it was office work. Its only the "do you work in a massage parlour" joke that kind of got me. I mean would you randomly ask someone you've just met something like that? I dunno I'm prolly worried over nothing anyway.

[Lias]

I dunno about massage parlours but I'm sure we can make you famous in err movies

I'm sure MDU and BJ will help out *grin*

Will drag some big mean looking bloke along thats for sure lol

[Smorg]

Yeah sounds pretty suss to me man. I wouldn't be calling at 10pm to talk to you about a job. Definately alterior motives involved, keep yourself safe and watch out for this dodgy cunt

[DemonWolf]

Why not ring him back now.. and ask what sort of business he's in.... hopefully you may get his wife... and she'll no doubt set ya straight.

Just a thought

[duckman]

It's difficult to judge the situation over the net as so much gut instinct is derived from things like: the way he spoke, nervous desposition, shifty eyes, dress sense, spoken manner e.t.c.

But,

The way you've worded the conversation makes me think it sounds dodge.

Just be careful, he already has your cell number. Don't give him anymore information until you know what he wants.

Paul.

[NotaGoth]

Sounds dodgy to me. I would ignore it.
Unless it is the receptionest at a massage parlour then hook up the brothers with a KB discount aye?

Those muscles are pretty sore after a ride up that far north.

sounds a bit that way to me too..

KB discount, hmmm I could get you someone for free.. He would love to rub you down and relax those sore tight muscles.. Oh and his boobs are bigger than mine so thats a score

I'll give him your number.

Well, you might if you worked in that business.
