Job blues

Well, I found out yesterday that I did not get the Austin position I was wanting. I was told " You did an excllent interview and I believe you would do an excellent job but the other canidate was a better fit for the current unit." That is state HR speak for you were the most qualified canidate but we are going to hire this other person anyway. So why far to often is it not about what you know but who you know. Oh well, some day I will run the world and then everthing will be. . . ok so that may not be such a good idea.

Try not to make so many references to Joseph Stalin and take of that prosthetic forehead.

First time visitor (through Knighton). And without reading anything else I'm guessing that you're not an African-American single mother of Native-American descent? Just thinking outloud ...

Hmm, well I do a mean impersonation of Aretha Franklin pretending to be Crazy Horse. And I have plenty of clients who are single mothers. But I guess to be fair your powers of observation are accurate :) Thanks for visiting.

Look on the bright side, at least you don't have one of those "Life Choices" to make. It was chosen for you.

On another note . . . I was trying to remember your blog address, so I googled the words:
soap bubbles in the rain
This was the first link on the list

Check it out. I don't have a grand reason for sharing .. I just thought it was interesting in a quirky sort of way. I hope, at best, people just think of me as quirky and intersting, (rather than insane) so it seemed appropriate to pass on as my first comment to you.
