Funny how when you're waiting to hear back from job interviews the all get back to you on the same day with the same answer. "Hi Melissa? This is ____________ from DCYF Laconia. I was just calling to let you know that the position has been filled, but we're going to keep your resume and application on file for...." blah blah blah. My favorite was "The Letter" I got from Rochester "Dear Ms. Cardin, Thank you for interviewing for the Child Protective Service Worker assessment position in the Rochester District Office on September 1, 2005. This letter is to advise you that you have not been seleted for the position. Although you possess skills and knowledge applicable to the postion, the candidate selected was better able to articulate their understanding of the role of the CPSW assessment postion. If you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to contact me." That is such bullshit. You're "advising" me the postion has been filled? Couldn't you "notify" me, or "inform" me? And whats this crap about the other person being "better able to articulate their understanding of the role" ??? Evidentally I don't speak clearly enough for you. Or perhaps I just didn't learn enough while I was an intern in YOUR office?! This is crap.
So here I am again starting from square one. I guess I'll have to start applying in offices that are farther away than I wanted, but fine. I'm sick of my job at the doctors office anyway. We've had two people quit in the last two weeks, then we hired someone on and we're pretty sure she's going to quit too, because she hasn't shown up for her first two full days of work. She came in for one day last week and that was the last anyone's seen of her. She called out sick yesterday, and today she just didn't show up. She didn't call, didn't come in, nothing.
I was just really hoping for one of these to work out. Especially Rochester. I REALLY, really, really wanted that job. More so than, I think, I let on before, and more than even John knew. It's weird... not getting this job was like... getting dumped almost! It really hurt. It's kind of a crappy analogy, but it's the best I can come up with for the way I feel about it.
Anyway, that's all for now. I have a headache and need to put away laundry. Then I'm eating ice cream and watching an episode of Law and Order:SVU.
