I had a similar situation. I'd been offered a contract that I simply
was not interested in. I'd interviewed, and it was horribly clear that
the project manager had NO clue (she spent at least 20 minutes of the
interview talking about how each person would be responsible for the
group's birthdays for a month - decorating cubes, buying eats, etc. -
what that had to do with the job I'll never know). Well, the recruiter
would NOT take no for an answer "but they LOVED you in the interview!"
Great - still don't want the job. So I finally said I'll take it, but
only if...and gave him a list, starting with a guaranteed 1-yr contract,
$/hr that was really high, paid holidays, 3-wk vacation AND medical,
etc. For some reason, I never heard from him again...

This reminds me of a recruiter who kept calling me last summer for a job

with a commute I simply did not want. No matter how many times I told
him
that he kept calling, finally he asked me what it would take for me to
make
the commute and I told him "a gazillion dollars an hour" and that if he
could get me that...let me know. He never called again *shrug* guess he
could not get me that gazillion. :)
