Here's the bad news
I didn't get the job. I'm feeling rather depressed. I talked to Jim about it at length and when I told him I felt like quitting he told me not to and then proceeded to tell me all the things I figured he would. Examples being: you'll be a great eng'r some day, we need you here, your time will come, don't get discouraged, there'll be other openings. He was really laying it on thick and I can'tfigured out why. I think I'm going to take his advice with a grain of salt. I wonder if he was just sympathizing with me because he knows I'm disappointed. It's not going to stop me from pursuing other options. I wish I had the financial means to just quit right now.
I'm worried about how Russell is going to react to my decision to search for other jobs. When I try and talk to him about it he always responds with, "You know how I feel." I think I know how he feels, but I wish he would verbalize. I'm going to start very heavily searching in the Eugene area first and then broaden my scope as necessary. Evoking change, even for my own well-being is so difficults sometimes.
