I responded in a bit of frustration since I didn't want any more problems in my life. I spoke in in a bit of frustration "Fuck off, weirdo! I don't know you! why would I accept a favor?!" I felt a little guilty since I tend to be polite. I prefer to keep my manners. That's how I maneuver in public. People will think you're more sophisticated and educated with your words. Sometimes. I say sometimes since people are just like that.
    The odd number stayed calm, possibly trying to convince me to do something. I don't know what to do now. I can't call the police since this person is not physically here harassing me, and when I block him he creates another phone number. I don't have a lot of options here. I think I have to try my luck on this. Even though I don't want to.
    The man spoke again. "I can help you get a job. You do want money, yes?" He offered. I was utterly confused. How could a stranger know I didn't have a job or a money? The thought of a stalker shivered my spine and gave me goosebumps. I wonder if this person knows where I am. I took a minute to breathe and responded rationally "What are you talking about?" I spoke, trying to keep myself together. The caller spoke "This is not a common offer. Do you want a job or not?" They sounded frustrated because of me being indecisive. But he does have a good point. Jobs are not easy to get.
    I thought quickly, not thinking about calming down. I answered quickly "What is it?" my stomach turned to the idea of actually thinking about this. My gut told me I shouldn't do this. But I'm thirsty for a job. I need it to live or at least have a roof over my head. That's life. "It's just a restaurant. Can you work with meat?" I couldn't believe he would ask me that. If he knows I don't get good meals, how could I cook? I probably can do some stuff, but I think I'd lose skill.
It sounds like a sketchy question too. Especially from an anonymous person. "I'll try." I said. I wanted to be honest. But something tells me I will give up out of frustration. But I have to try.
