In my defense, the job posting was for a circus assistant.

Sure, maybe the flyer was a little suspect - it didn't say anything about payment rates or length of contract, but it did offer not only room and board but 'unique, valuable experience'. So I'd shown up at the interview thinking they'd have some sort of normal one on one chat. Instead, I was told I was going to have to 'perform' on stage for the interviewer, and they offered me some peanuts.

Again, maybe I should have thought it over. But I love peanuts! So I took a few and munched on 'em, and... well, as soon as I felt the splitting pain in my teeth and saw my nose beginning to grow, I knew what was up. I hope this isn't a permanent position...
