I'm currently on day 3 of my second job in 2 weeks. The first job seemed like a good deal, while the subject matter I was supposed to write about seemed kinda dry, my boss seemed like a great guy. He wasn't the most exciting guy in the world, but he had a good heart and would treat me fairly. After being without a boss, essentially on my own against the rest of the world who doesn't seem to care about typos, I was looking forward to working for this guy. Ha!

After they ignored me for the first day, the guy gave me no instructions and told me to swap out hand coded headers and footers with server side includes. Okay, but just to be sure, could you take 3 minutes to show me what code I should take out? Nope, then he yelled at me as if I was his 6 year old when I left code in that needed to come out. Without a development server, I had no way of seeing my changes.

3 days there was enough. I sent my resignation after the 3rd day. The recruiter who placed me there was upset, ostensibly because she thought I was "throwing my career away" (I am not kidding) but really because she loses her commission. She wished that I'd called her sooner so she could have fixed the situation. How? Given the guy Prozac maybe. I don't know about you, but if my livelihood depends on people going to work, I'd call them a lot, at least at first.
