A door is not closed, it is propted open.

So I was a bit of a whiner after my job interview the other day, I'll admit that. It was all, "I'm pathetic, I will never get a job", type of stuff all day long. It was sad and stupid, but hey, that is me. So that happened and that is that, right? Well, here's the thing. I was going to call them back on Friday, just to follow up to thank them for the experience that they gave me. I figured that anything I went through, was an experience that I did not have prior to the situation. So I called them back today to thank them for all that they put me through, but instead of just saying thank you, I told them that despite their decision, I thought that I could be an asset to their company. This obviously struck a chord with them because within a half hour(or was it an hour, I guess it does not matter), they called me back and said that they were still interested in me. They even said that they would call me back next week to follow up on the job.

This to me is kind of funny. I find it funny because unlike the other day when I was so full of confidence, today I had nothing to lose so it felt almost liberating to give them a call. I called them and told them exactly what was on my mind and it might have actually paid off. So that leaves me with something that a very close friend said to me in regards to the job. She said to me that, "Even though I was down, the situation was less a closed door and more like a door propted open". Which is why I even wrote about this today.

It is weird, sometimes when you think everything thing that you have worked hard for was worth nothing, you can be completely mistaken. It is the reason I have such close friends, they usually know what is good for me better than I do.
