I am bored off my tits with programming job interviews

I am an old fart. I am 48 years old. My first computers were a BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum 48 thats how old I am. The last 10 years I have been doing .NET SQL Server yada yada and basically writing the same boring web C.R.U.D. or as I like to call it C.R.A.P applications.

What is amazing to me as I was so in love and had a pasion with computers in the beginning.

I was a "gear head" playing with assembler, reading and learning everyhing in site. Now what bores the shits out of is I get these recruiters calling me with the "corporate talk" calling looking for the same boring shit just some place else.

I feel completely "type cast". Over the years I have worked in dbaseIII,turbo pascal, delphi, VB I have touched a lots of languages and tools and I only get called on now for more of the very boring crud jobs. My biggest rub is I have to do a technical test time and time again for every interview. And I am constantly being asked the same fucking questions. What the difference between an abstract class and an interface. I don't give a flying fuck thats the difference!

It's like living in that movie ground hogs day.

I get 10 calls a day. And every caller sounds like everyone is reading not from but the same exact script verbatim.

Maybe I should just pack it all in and do something else. I am out of work. I have been playing with golang for a year, I have years of experience on .NET and C# and I am now unemployed up el shit creako without a paddle o. Also, and no offense to anyone. I get calls from Indian recruiters all the day long and I have not one fuck of an idea what on earth they are talking about. They all sound the same. Always calling me about a "job position" Isn't it a "job" or a "position" what the fuckedy fuck fuckeroo is a "job position" Anyway I am depressed unemployed and in dire straits financially. Somebody shoot me!
