Still there today!
She just spent the entire work week sitting in my atrium!
Needless to say, I’m more than a little curious to see if she shows up again on the weekend or next week. I’ve left instructions for my receptionist to call her office and book an appointment for her to meet with me for 10 minutes on Tuesday before I head out of town, so hopefully she’ll find another place to nest until then. I’m rather curious to see what sort of person would do such a silly and ineffective thing.
Lunch? Nah. I can’t imagine that a headhunter who would prefer to sit on her ass for days at a time rather than simply arrange for a phone call would have enough of interest to me to justify the time for a lunch. The last thing I want is to be trapped making nice for an hour with a flaming idiot.
Maybe she’s a stalker pretending to be a headhunter. That is seriously strange behavior.
I already have one of them: the soon to be ex-wife of a client in a divorce matter who keeps calling my receptionist demanding to be put through to me to tell me that I am an asshole. She’s been at it off and on for months. Another fellow in the firm had one who eventually shot out our front door and spread roofing nails throughout our parking lot.
Methinks that this is the laziest headhunter in the history of the industry. She’s probably pretending to be out running all over the place working to get placements for people and is instead camping in your atrium just lounging. Sounds like a cushy way to make a living to me.
I’d be bored off my ass sitting in some atrium for a week. I’d bring a book or a GameBoy, but then it might be obvious I wasn’t working…
perhaps she’s not a headhunter.
Maybe she’s reall a…cannibal!
In which case, inviting her to lunch was very definitely the wrong move.
Brings to mind a particlar canoe trip:
