The telephone game

I had some very amusing information told to me tonight. I used to work for a, uh, unnamed company and was about to be laid off when I was hired by the new company to work as a contractor for the unnamed company. (confused yet?) After coming on board as a contractor, I have become a valued addition to the team of the unnamed company, but I like working for the new company. Anywho, appearently the unnamed company would really like to have me come back to them some day. I was told that they didn't think they would be able to bring me on board because they thought the following:

1. I like being a contractor
2. The reason why I like being a contractor is because it allows me to have more flexible hours.
3. I supposedly was working 12 hours a day 5 days a week for the unnamed company which wasn't acceptable
4. I had just had kids!!!! which is why I wanted to be a contractor because my hours would be more flexible so I could spend time at home with my kids.

Well. Anyone who knows the situation would laugh at the above lines. The truth is:

1. I like working for the new company
2. The hours I worked prior to coming on board with new company as contractor were actually the same as what I am working now
3. I definetly do NOT have kids, other than my 2 horses, 4 cats, and 1 dog.

I have to wonder how they got the above impression of me. :)
