Hyper active head-hunter!!

job phone is a perk if you can call sex lines and also buddies overseas on the company dime...

Wait! That isn't allowed? What if I am on company time, and in the office when I do it? Is it OK then?

From the tone of ristau's post it sounds like something he does regularly - I didn't get a sense that it wasn't allowed.

hey now, watch those accusations. I don't do none of that.

So this has taken an interesting turn: I went ahead and interviewed for this job I didn't really want that was described to me as mainly swapping out hardware, and it turns out that is part of another department.  This job is data-center, WAN/LAN, routing/switching, over all a lot of the stuff I want to do, and before the interview was over they had sent my head-hunter a message saying they wanted to make me an offer for more than what I asked for, not by much, but still that is awesome!! It's contract, but pretty much everyone who was a contractor last year has gone full time.

Honestly I am not seeing any good reason to not take.

Wow - awesome!  Congrats!

How'd the questionable benefits and travel work out, that you mentioned concern with in the OP

The travel is handled by the field team (we just remote into their laptops), I got the benefits info, no vacation (cause I am a contractor), and the health insurance is high, but over all not bad.

Have you said thanks to the head-hunter?

Yep
