On Not Winning: "Anything Worth Having Is Worth Fighting For."
According to LiveJournal I haven't used this thing in 37 weeks, so here is a small update. Nothing funny, just facts.
I had the interview with Aeon and I didn't get the job. In fact I did not get to the second part of the interview. There is nothing to be done about it now, except to keep trying to get to Japan. I didn't have my heart set on teaching, I had it set on living in Japan. There are other ways to get there and I will pursue those avenues.
I am now looking for work in a company that has international presence... specifically a presence in Japan and America. From there I will attempt to transfer to Japan. If anyone knows the best way to go about this, please contact me.
As for what went wrong with the interview, I'm not sure, but I suspect that I was not (げんき) "genki" enough for what they needed. I cut my hair for the interview however I no longer regret it. I have come to like it short. I did meet some neat people at the interview who did make it, and I wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors.
My sisters wedding is fast approaching and I have failed to obtain a date. With 17 days left to go, I don't expect to find one.
Work of course is driving me crazy. It appears that most lawyers and their secretaries and paralegals are nothing short of Bat-Shit insane. I understand that they are under large amounts of stress, but I don't understand why they can not behave in a professional manner and allow me to do my job of helping them.
This has also been a bad week for some of my friends, and I know it shouldn't make me feel better about missing out on the job, it just put things in perspective. Ryan Ms mom died, they had to pull the plug on her, two of my friends broke up and I don't think it is easy on either of them, my old school friend Tammy let me know that her husband (one of my good good friends from high school that I no longer speak to) just served her divorce papers after leaving her and their daughter for five months, and his mom is trying to sue for custody of the kid.
I need to do my Japanese assignment, it due in two and a half hours.
