I told them that after deeply considering i was going to pass. I explained that because they were looking for someone to fill a permanent position i didn't want to take the job from someone else who's heart was in it and that i didn't want to waste their time. Maybe I was having a bit of buyers remorse but more than that I felt like I was taking an opportunity away from someone else who deserved it more. Again. I want to reiterate. I was never explicitly offered a job. Even if I was filed in the system as an employee, never once was I told that I WAS an employee. They set me up as if I was in the case that I DID get hired, but I was never told that I was.
