A Disappointing Day

Today was supposed to be a good day.  It's Friday.  I'm supposed to hear news of that promising job.  Instead, I get an email from Rebecca stating that it was urgent that I call her.  So I do, and, of course she's on lunch.  I swear I have the worst timing when it comes to stuff like that.

She calls me back, infuriated, telling me that her connection had contacted her and had said that he was very disappointed.  I was very unprofessional and wore sweatpants to the interview.  She knows that I don't do that.  That's not me.  Ever.  I would never do that.  I don't even own a pair of sweatpants.  It was quite possible that I was mistaken for somebody else, especially seeing as how my interview was bumped a few hours because of the snow that had fallen already and the impending snow storm.  One person conducted most of the interview until somebody came in near the end, fresh from another meeting.  They split ways afterwards, and he had to rush to another meeting.  That's how busy they were.

Everything was on their time and I was more than okay with that.  Nonetheless, it had been a brutal blow for me.  A generously long hug from Andrew and a movie later, I felt better.  I'm trying not to worry about it, but it's kinda hard.  I can't really do much about this.  It's in Rebecca's hands and I trust her completely.

Well, best of luck to the rest of you.  Keep hanging in there and things will surely turn around for all of us.
