Dreams of Laddder Salesmenship
Damn is my life ever awkward and melodramatic.
Some of you may remember the job I was recently trying to get. I'm a big fan of a steady income, so having to wait so long to find out whether or not I get it is nerve wracking.
For the sake of argument, let's say it's a job selling ladders. As in, the ladder theory.
*nod*
Okay, now running with this horrible tossed salad of an analogy that really only makes sense to me, I'm competing for this job with a few people. People I'm acquainted with. Friends, one might call them. I can't very well talk myself up while casually talking them down to the interviewer, because that's not friendly. If they were strangers... Hey, we'd all do it. But friends is different. I wish them well, just not in this particular forum. It's more than a tricky situation.
I'll let you know how it pans out for everyone.
edit: So I slept on it, and I realized it's not even that great of a job. I mean, yeah it's pretty okay, and there's the possibility it would be the best job I've ever had (not that that is a hard title to win), but it's not my dream job.
Does this change things?
Time shall tell.
