Assuming?

During my last job interview, the ex-future boss curiously asked what my zodiac sign was. I promptly replied with “Leo” and he excitedly said in the vernacular “Ayay, hait!” and we had a good laugh at it. Yet he never called back. Was I taken in for another good time? I have been in this particular situation exactly 3 years ago and I seem to be taken in for another ride this time. Sad. People say awful stuff usually come in threes. Well if they’re really true, oh please let the 3rd one come quick so I can finally find or settle with a decent (and permanent) job soon.
