Yet another tough day (whining warning)
So I found out last night that I will NOT be getting the job I was working on at the University. What a bummer for me. I thought the interview went well, but people never tell the truth. They told me that my qualifications were lacking (which I knew), but when I asked if there were any concerns about my skills or experience, they all smiled and said NO. Liars!
Anyway I am feeling even more discouraged now. I applied for 2 other jobs in that same office (where I was invited to apply by my former boss) and didn't get any of them. Is there some kind of political situation that I don't know about? I hope it isn't anything personal against me. I have had so many interviews and no offers, it makes me feel like they don't like me. Or maybe one of my references is not as positive as I expect them to be. GOD I hope not....
Anyway I have had an awful day ontop of all these yucky feelings: I rode my bike to the metro this morning and when I got there I did not have the lock. SOOO I had to ride home. Fortunetly my friend was able to give me a ride (and we stopped for B-fast!). So it wasnt all bad I was about an Hour and a Half late for work, but my boss is cool.
I had bad nightmares last night too. I dreamt I was late for work(prophetic?) but my boss was really mad and told me not to bother coming back in...ever. She was mean about it (which she wouldn't be in reality).
looking on the bright side, Scott got a new job offer in Baltimore, so I can focus my job search out of DC (YAY no METRO!) and closer to Baltimore. We want to buy a house in a few months, and houses are cheaper up there. Also, I didn't have to ride a crowded train because I was so late. Other good things? Not sure. But i wll keep looking .
