Square Zero

I heard back about Job 1 and they decided to pass. They asked some detailed questions in the interview and seemed fairly formal. That feeling was spot on because they thought I was ‘too casual’ and ‘wasn’t consistent with why I left my last job.’

The ‘not consistent’ thing feels a little BS to me since it came up twice and my answer only changed in the wording. If I was too casual, I have no idea how. Maybe I didn’t ‘sir’ and ‘ma’am’ them enough. I’ll grant they’re important people doing good work. I’m still over people who need their own importance validated by not being spoken to like people.

I haven’t heard back about Job 2. If I heard back there’s a good chance I’d say yes but if I hear anything from them I’ll be surprised. I can almost guarantee they’ll pass as well. I’m back to square zero. 

It’s ironic I was making myself crazy over what to do when it turns out I was worrying for nothing. Nobody was going to say yes. I could really use a winning lottery ticket so I can be all sorts of done with this non-stop searching and anxiety.
