Perhaps she’s too busy worrying about being mugged by people who have car trouble to respond. I really don’t understand how even the stupidest person could fail to see that a billion people do not need a billion jobs. I would say she’s being deliberately obtuse, but she is awfully dumb, so it’s hard to tell. ---

Was it an assistant manager position? Because if it was, maybe he thought you wanted him to be an ass manager, rather than an Asst mgr. 😃 ---
