Why didn't they like me? Why? WHY?
*sob*
Was it my Dr. Seuss criminal record on the background check? Was it because I'm old and fat and they wanted yet another Big-Boobied Tartlet at their orifice cooler? (It's a bird. Look it up.) Because, really, are there ever enough young women in tight blouses and camel-toe pants working at car dealerships?
It's not like I don't have social media experience. (Right?) It's not like I don't have 30 years under my belt as a writer and a photographer. It's not like I couldn't give them the most awesome website they'd ever seen, complete with a funny, fabulous Facebook page that people WANT to interact with. It's not like I couldn't do the fecking JOB in my fecking SLEEP.
Maybe it's because I like to say feck so much? Well feck, I wouldn't say feck on their Facebook page ... OK, so maybe just once or twice...
I didn't actually think they would reject me. I honestly thought they would offer me the job and then I would negotiate a higher wage because, frankly, I'm worth twice what they were offering and I live in a fecking dream world. And then, when they refused to offer me more moolah, I would tell them to stick their job in their pipe and smoke it.
I just didn't imagine them not offering me the job. How big-headed and stupid is that?
I know I should act like a grown-up but I really feel sorry for myself right now. I may have to spend the rest of the day blowing my nose and yelling at the cats.
I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteGet even - set up a fake Facebook page for them and then have at it.
(Cueing evil laugh!)
DeleteAwwww I'm sorry Cathy! :( But that just means something WAY better is out there for you!!! You've said that Dave's making great money, so do you really need to work right away? Can you take some time off for yourself?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm definitely taking some time for myself! Myself and my bon-bons and extra large box of kleenex!
DeleteTheir loss. Your gain.
ReplyDeleteJust don't throw out the blouse. It's awesome.
Hugs to you, dear cousin!
DeleteYou didn't get this because something bigger and better is coming your way. I can feel it in the wind.
ReplyDeleteI hope the bigger thing isn't a fecking dump truck.
DeleteDelores is correct. Hold out for the better thing!
ReplyDeleteHolding... holding... but that elevator music is really annoying.
DeleteSorry you didn't get the job. It is such a downer when people don't realize what you can bring to the job.
ReplyDeletePffft... people.. don't they realize I'm AWESOME?????? heheheheh
DeleteSorry you didn't get the job but I bet you were to good for them anyways and they could not afford your talents and it scared them ! Chin up girl you will get there ! awesome post ! Have a good day any ways and who the fecking hell needs them !
ReplyDeleteMy chin is up, Elaine... all five of 'em.
DeleteI spent last night in a pint of Cherry Garcia ice cream.
ReplyDeleteI have a "severe strain of the left tendons in my right ankle"... had it for a month, but since it's not getting any better, I now can not walk or run for a while... which means no 10k this weekend. :( AND possibly no working as well (2nd opinion next Thursday). It's too bad you didn't live closer, or even in the same country, we could share a half gallon.
(((HUGS)))
Oh Juli, that is pure suckage! I'm so sorry about your ankle. You're handling it the right way though.... cold things are always the best cure for sore joints.
DeleteNow, pass it my way, please.
Sorry you didn't get the job, but just think of it this way, the job wasn't the right one for you. ^_^
ReplyDeleteYou're right... well, it was kind of right... practically perfect, actually, but pffft, not right at all as it turns out!
DeleteWe all agree (well, most of us) something good will come of it. We've all been there; we know that's how it works out.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. You're all right. That's why youse guys are my board of directors.
DeleteGo back to the post where you first told us about this job. If they don't appreciate you, they don't deserve you!.
ReplyDeleteAnd painful hemmorhoids to them all.
Not just rhoids, PAINFUL rhoids! I like the way you think, EC ... remind me to stay on your good side...
DeleteIt's their loss.
ReplyDeleteYou tell 'em, William.
DeleteThey are dumb!! If I could, I would hire you in a minute!!!
ReplyDeleteHow much would you pay? Could I work in my pajamas?
DeleteI think the dealership missed a great opportunity -- they'd sell more cars with a Big-Boobied Tartlet on staff :)
ReplyDeleteBut really... there's something else out there for you, like everyone hear is saying. You are way over-qualified to sell vehicles. So hang in there, think out of the box, and be kind to the cats (though I yell at my cat all the time, but he doesn't give a feck--he's deaf).
Love the new blog look, btw. Have missed you... Peace...
Linda! Hey, so nice to see you here... Have missed you as well. :)
DeleteIt's completely their loss, Cathy. Go interview for their biggest competition; getting that job and killing it over there, sounds like the best revenge to me :)
ReplyDeleteMuahahahaha! You are partly evil, dear bird, but in a very nice way!
DeleteLoooo hooooo sers. Keep your chin up dear friend, the right thing will come along and this will be a lil' blip on the Cathydar. :)
ReplyDeleteHave to tell you, Lou, I spent, like, 10 minutes trying to figure out what Loooo hoooo sers meant. Said it out loud and everything... When I finally figured it out I made a big L on my forehead (backwards, as usual... sigh...)
DeleteAnd maybe, just maybe, your fate is to be a lady of leisure at this point in your life. Stranger things have happened. Maybe your own on-line employment is just around the corner. Maybe start your own newspaper.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah; sorry you didn't get the job. It's their loss.
Blessings and Bear hugs!
You know what Rob? You are RIGHT! I have worked my whole life and frankly it's time to STOP!!!!
DeleteNow, pass the bon-bons.
Sorry you didn't get the job, but don't yell at the cats. They'll find revenge. *speaks from experience*
ReplyDeleteBut you know what? If it didn't happen, it's probably a good thing. I wish they hadn't offered me my job. I'd be in England right now with the family I babysat for, babysitting there for a year and then making my own life. Now it's too late, and while searching to get away from here I don't get offered jobs...
Oh Estrella, that is incredibly sad. I sincerely hope you find an opportunity to move to England. Hugs an very, very best wishes.
DeleteWhen I read that title, I heard "the soup Nazi" from Seinfeld saying "No soup for you!!" Cuts me up every time!
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it, Cathy. Take some time off to enjoy your new home and get to know the area. Meet people and explore. Once you start a new job you won't have much free time, so enjoy it while you can. Take this time for yourself! The right job will come along when the time is right.
karen
The Soup Nazi was EXACTLY what I was thinking about, Karen!!!! Good for you! Soup coming your way! :)
DeleteUm, I think you forgot the bread....
Deletekaren
oh crap...
