A Job Hunting Funny

Received an email from a recruiter today asking if I would be willing to relocate to another town in Eastern NC for an HR position. I responded, saying that I had just relocated and had done so to be closer to family so that was not an option, unfortunately.

The recruiter's response: Well it is only a 62 mile commute.

Is he serious? My commute to my last job was 52-55 miles one way down the interstate and it took me about an hour and a half each way with traffic. I can't imagine how long 62 miles with no interstate would take.

Not to mention that gas is still hovering at $4.00 a gallon and I'd have to fill up my tank once a day...

How do you respond to something like this?
