Life is sort of funny sometimes.

So today I had a job interview. Well actually it was my third interview for a sales postion at a radio station. These interview's have been going on for over a month now, which meant I was pretty confident about getting the job. (Minor sidenote: Confidence can sometimes be a bad thing, which in my case today proved to be correct). So I go to the interview and meet with the guy who I have been talking to for a while now. Which is cool because he's a real nice guy who I have been getting along great with, hence the third interview.

As we are sitting down in this board room talking, this other guy comes in and wants to meet me. I knew he was coming in, so it is not like it is some big surprise. This guy seems nice as well and we start talking about the job and my personal experiences. This leads to me talking non-stop about all the crap I have done in my life, you know, the blah blah blah stuff that goes on in interviews. After about twenty minutes or so he ask's me if I have any questions, to which they happily answer. Then all of a sudden the new dude starts to talk about how I am more of a relationship person and that they are afraid I will not be able to handle the rejection of the job. I disagree with this assement but it is a fair observation for them to make. Then they tell me that they can tell I have a passion for something else and that they are worried that three months from now I will get bored and move on. This I can't disagree with, but it also leads to the following and obvious conclusion; which is that they are not interested in me.

This decision at first is sort of surprising to me but I'm not really that bummed because the job is not really my cup of tea anyway. The thing that is so annoying and kinda funny about it all is that I am totally bummed out about it. Never in my life have I been so bummed out about not getting something that I didn't want in the first place. So like I said, life is sort of funny sometimes.

i'm new to blogger, so while repetitively hitting the 'next blog' button i came across yours. i just wanted to say that the line 'ive never been so bummed about not getting something i didn't even want in the first place' cracked me up.

i couldn't agree more. :)
thank you!
