perspective

Thank you for the encouragement, tips, and advice. Abbagirl, the other blog posting was quite uncanny. Misery loves company. It made me feel better to read that I wasn't the only person with weird friend issues.

I had a salt-on-the-wound moment this morning. One of my very close friends gave a job tip to another one of her friends. Turns out her a former employer was hiring. She never mentioned anything of the sort to me, and the other friend was offered the position at the firm. I felt a little betrayed...

I wasn't offered any of the jobs I interviewed for last week. I was optimistic in the beginning of the week, but slowly, as each day passed without a call, I started to lose hope. By the time Thursday rolled around, I was a real mess. Just ugly. This morning, I knew I didn't get any of the positions, but thought I'd call for the one position I really wanted, just in case. She said the position was filled earlier this week. It wasn't a surprise. Still, I'm annoyed they never called to let me know. They could have at least sent a rejection letter for me to add to my collection.

I think I'd like to hide under Weezy's rock...I just don't get it. The interviews all went so well. We clicked, we were laughing, really getting to know each other. What the hell happened?

I wish someone could just tell me what I need to do to get a job. Just share the secret because I'd really like to know. I've tried everything from the really professional cover letters to the really heart-felt ones. I keep looking over all my docs. Maybe I missed something? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. It probably doesn't look good that my last job on my resume was a while back.

I need to get a positive perspective on my life. I need to really embrace all the great things I have going right now, because as Anonymous said, I do have feet. It's hard. And today, it's probably not going to happpen because I'm in a rotten funk.
