so i learned today that i got turned down for a job that i REALLY REALLY was hoping for! first it didnt hit me, but i went out with my friends and i ended up moping. i went home and started crying my eyes out. this really sucks. it doesnt help that for some reason i seem to be really hormonal the last few days (it's definately NOT that time of the month...). i'm so bummed. i know, there will be opportunities. but this would have been so perfect. i wanna call the BF, but it's 3am and he's sleeping, and he's been having a hard couple of weeks at work, so he needs his sleep.

i dont know why i'm feeling this down... i just really felt like this was gonna happen... i HAVE other job offers, but i know i will be so miserable there!!

ETA: dont get me wrong. i am not ungreatful! i know there's people who have it way harder than me. i am still ok financially for a while. just kinda depressed i guess. sitting home all day REALLY doesnt help! i dont know how glenda is handling it so well. i am literally bouncing off the walls here! i guess i'm just really spoiled...

Yeah, drinking when you're bummed out is just a waste of alcohol and usually makes me feel worse too. I know it sounds trite but I'm a huge believer that things work out the way they should. It may not be apparent why now, but perhaps it will soon. In the meantime, it's okay to feel disappointed and no one would blame you for indulging in some Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Big Smile

I have to agree with Cathy. Ice cream instead of booze - and when something really crappy happens it usually means that there's something much better waiting around the corner.

cathy, see i believe that as well!

i think part of the reason i am not taking it very well is that i have always been very lucky up to now. good things always just seemed to fall in my lap! in highschool i never had to worry about grades. i just *got* it easily and got good grades without having to work for it much. then my major sort of just fell in my lap as well. college was easy cause of the college i went to. the only pressure i had was the one i put on myself. financially my family supported completely all through my studies and and partially for the first year of work, so i could take a low paying job where i would learn a lot! my last 2 jobs just sorta fell into my lap. until recently i have never even written a resume or been on any kind of interview! so yeah, i guess i still have a little bit to learn on how to deal with "the real world"...

plus, as i said, i am way hormonal and have nothing else to dwell on right now! doesnt exactly help my state of mind... Sad

Yeah, I get that way too. I know it's really bad when I have a bunch of good stuff going on in my life and I STILL feel mopey. At least you have a reason to feel that way.

I've been majorly blessed with my career too and when I was out of work for a short time, I was really upset when I didn't get selected for a couple jobs that I thought I'd nailed on the interview. I guess I was a bit impressed with myself and didn't understand why they weren't as well. Wink After a few serious disappointments, I landed what turned out to be the absolute best job and best opportunity I could've ever imagined and it's been going great ever since. I haven't been in that job for several years, but it was the platform for moving on to bigger, better and more exciting jobs later.

I hope to see a post one day soon where you're raving about your new job too Big Smile

Hey Janet (((( hug ))))

There is nothing wrong with a good cry fest once in a while as long as you come out smiling on the other side. When I'm feeling like that I usually put on a "cry-fest" movie and eat lots of junk food...mmm junk food.

You may THINK this was the job for you but it might of turned out really badly cause it sounds like someone/something is looking out for you. Don't worry - the right job will fall in your lap and then you can do the happy dance! Just like those volleyball cheerleaders! Surprise
