Guess I won't be holding my breath on this one.
Shit. Shit shit shit shit.
Maybe there's still a chance I'll escape the micromanaging control freak spoiled princess boss from HELL but I'm sure as shit not gonna bet the farm on it.

I'm usually really optimistic about life, the universe, and everything, but right now I just wanna cry.

Gotta snap out of it.

1. They might have gotten over a hundred resumes for that job
but only ONE was the right one...and only ONE was from you.

One and one, y'know..

:hi:

4. Once they read yours the other resumes
will mean nothing.

I'm hoping for the best possible outcome for you.


I believe you will get this job!

5. Please don't allow that number
to discourage you. A while back we posted out for a job, and got a tremendous amount of resumes, but very few with qualifying qualities.

So . . . go back to being optimistic! We're all cheering for you!

9. Hang in there, grannylib, the number doesn't matter...so many
people are sending them out to any and all jobs, they will be selective, but they'll call those that fit the bill, stay confident. Good luck.

10. I'm sure yours was head and shoulders above the others.
Think of all the repugs, doing their's in crayon.
