For someone over the age of 60 and out of work for two years I wouldn’t say I’m suffering from paranoia, I’m just overly cautious. I mean, you don’t really own a car or a house until all the papers are signed. I want someone from Siemens in HR or higher up to send me signed papers saying, “Yes. you HAVE a job and your starting date is ______.”

Is that too much to ask from this paranoid unemployed old artist?
