Remember that new temp gig that had permanent possibility? The one that paid more money than I've previously made? That lasted 3 days.
There were a few valid reasons but it's disappointing because I let myself want to work there. It was a nonprofit making changes I actually care about. I let myself want this or think it could be something good. I feel like a colossal fool.
On Tuesday I turned down 2 different gigs since I thought this one was going somewhere. By my dismissal on Wednesday, they were filled. I turned down free tickets to a Mumford & Sons concert because I thought I had to get up early for work the next morning.
I really should have known better. It's not my life unless something is going seriously wrong. That's not me being self-pitying. It's just true. Cancer ridden parent growing up, manipulative boyfriend who helped kill my social life in college, extended periods of unemployment. I've got great friends and a wonderful boyfriend but I remain a cautionary tale for anyone who dare study liberal arts. I guess my purpose in life is to make other people feel better about their life choices.
I got an email yesterday about a phone interview today. I said I was very free and asked what time worked best for them. I haven't heard anything back. Who wants to take bets on if and when I hear back from them? As much as I'd like to work there and would rock at the job, I'm not feeling optimistic. That's just how things go for me.
