utter fail
The negative:
-20 page rough draft of research paper due via email by 5 on Friday. Currently sitting at a comfy 1 page. At least I've got all my sources?
-Ok, this, gah. The company I've worked for the past 4 summers wanted to create a new permanent position towards the end of last year. When the boss lady found out I was interested in the position, she was (reportedly) gleeful--to the point she was willing to wait for me to graduate so I could get it. And, for the most part, they have. Then, a month or so back, they advertised the job, I went in and did my own interview, and didn't hear back at all. I was still fairly confident, because though I don't have experience with this particular position, I know the company, the product, the people, and I am qualified for the job. Then, last night, I sent an email to the boss lady asking about training for another job that had been mentioned to me--either as part of the new position or as an alternative. Today, she gets back to me that the job's been filled, but they're still interested in talking to me about this other duty.
When I found out they'd been interviewing other people, I kind of figured this would happen. On the one hand there's me, who's familiar but still new, and on the other there's people who've been doing this kind of thing for years for magazines.
What pisses me off is that I wonder: if I hadn't sent that email last night, were they ever going to let me know? I can understand them not getting back to me if I hadn't already worked there 4 years, if they hadn't held the job until I could graduate...
Now I've got roughly 4 weeks to find something else before I graduate. I may be panicking. Slightly.
-Still have 20 pages to write, though it's hard staying away from the internet and job searches. Anyone in the Chapel Hill, NC area got advice?
The good:
-Merlin is adorable and happy-making.
