The most akward of conversations

I have an old acquaintance who I went to high school with and recently spoke to. Here is how the conversation went:

Acquaintance: Hey do you still work at ---? I am going in for a job testing tomorrow!

Me: Yes, I do. What posting!

Acquaintance: Office assistant or something, hey if you still work there you should put in a good word for me!

Me: Actually, that's my job. So I dont think it would do me much good to refer you.

In case the conversation was not as clear, the acquaintance was applying for the job I am fighting to try and keep! Damn. Back to craigslist to look at more underpaid overworked jobs.

This sucks.
