Wed, Sep. 1st, 2004 01:01 amI post like mad today...
Was turned down for job offer during interview today. Feel rather down and unemployable (translate: "OMG I will never get a job evah and be stuck and careerless for the rest of my life because I'm not aggressive or confident!" *bursts into tears and flails dramatically*). Really would like to kick the interviewer. Yes, I know you are in a position of power, and I know I ask stupid questions and my resume sucks, but given that I cannot be rude or call you on your jerkness given my status as a job seeker, did you really have to be that rude and condescending? Jeez. On the other hand, it is probably good I did not get an offer because frankly, I disliked everyone in the company I talked to, disliked all the values they espoused, and they all smelled faintly of investment-banktitude.
And then an old high school friend IMs me and asks if I would want to open a bookstore with her someday. Of course, none of this is even remotely close to concrete, and there are tens of millions of reasons why this would be a Bad Idea.
