Kick em when their down…… I guess
Friday, April 27th, 2007 | Entertainment, Food
Clear anticipation awaited.
What happy hours I have spent this week. With my past work colleagues on Tuesday, which only led to a break down that evening.
Then Homework galore on Wed. To happy hour on Thurs. with a delightful friend who just got back from her vacation in China. Seeing Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu. Let me tell you…the food ..well alone, I don’t know that I could handle it.But it sounds like she had a most fabulous time. Unfortunately, later today, when my sweet friend drove me to Kell’s where Ry and his colleagues were celebrating the launch, I got the call. The call from the potential job I was sort of “either ” “or” about. Ideally I would have loved having the opportunity to receive an offer from. However, no, the offer went to someone more qualified. I deflated. Of course I responded with nothing but positive return and best of wishes to them and their endeavors, but there is something deeper still.
Sure, I may not have felt this was the “perfect” job and most certainly this may not have been the perfect job for me, but receiving that message of “we found a better candidate” only tells me I was not good enough. Thus only deflates me. How can apply for other jobs if I am not good enough for this job.
I cannot let myself be enveloped by limited hope! I must believe. I will continue to do so on our trip. For it is what will help me get through the next week. 
Sorry,no photo today.

Don’t worry, you’ll find something better than the stinky one you mentioned above. They’re just dumb, that’s all.
Yeah totally!! Thanks sweets.
Consider it a gift; whoever they gave that job to probably was only “more qualified” with respect to actually wanting the job; they were, maybe, just a better fit in that respect. You have better things waiting for you, and you know it. They will reveal themselves to you in time.
Don’t upset yourself over something as silly as not being chosen to settle for something you didn’t really really really want in the first place
You are so right. I just need to be reminded every once in awhile. Thanks so much Snooks!
