I didn't get the job
Edited on Tue Mar-29-05 07:45 PM by Not_Giving_Up
I'm not sure if I should :cry: or :banghead: for ever thinking it was mine.

Thanks to all of you who sent out positive vibes and such throughout the long process.

Oh, I'm so very sorry!
I know how much you wanted this and needed it too...That is one TOUGH BREAK. Please hang in there. And remember to live up to your own username: Not_Giving_Up!

:argh:

:grouphug:

Here's my own personal motto for when things are bad: This Too Shall Pass.

7. I don't think I'm handling it well
I spent 30 minutes in the fetal position buried in bed after I got home from work tonight.

9. They did say they'd keep my resume handy
(The one they picked could turn out to be a flop and not make it through the first 90 days.)

I got the call at 4:00 today while I was at work...then I had to drive home before I lost it.

My husband is being a total ass.

And I'm sorry about your husband. :hug: :loveya:





Want me to kick him in the shines? :P

15. I think I'd have to wait until the 90 day review
Unless they just really bite.

Yeah, come on and kick him! He left...so you'll have to find him.
