Weirdest Phonecall Ever

· 🌡️ 0°F

I get a phonecall from a Dmitiri and figured it was the new landlord because I heard he was eastern european from the realtor. I turned out to be a job recruiter. I keep getting so many calls and emails, it is crazy. Anyways, he seemed excited about my resume, etc and then when it got down to it he asked me if I had any other offers. I told him about the possibility of the alamedanet project and he told me I need to get the hell out of buffalo while I can. He was so excited for me to move to SF and kept saying do I really want to end up 45 with a wife and 3 kids in buffalo an dno way out.

Then I told him I have to finsish my theis and ha dthe possibility of a professorship job in the fall. He asked me how old I was and I said that I was 27. He then replied that, "Do you really want to be a professor at 27, you need ot get out and live your life." San Fracnisco is so cool, Buffalo is a dying city.

How am I supposed to feel about this? He is kind of making fun of my home town.
