well dearest interwebs

thank you for letting me be raw and real and belt it all out!

here is some more:

i did NOT get the job i interviewed for last week (yea, i know, sorry i didn't tell you.)

i wasn't really looking for a job until this interview presented itself. then i got myself all hopped up on mountain dew about it, and, well here we are.

i am embarrassed.

i thought i nailed the interview. (i still think i did.)

in my heart, i still feel like i am the best candidate for the job (of course!) and that it is their loss.

i may have gone home and cried about it for a few hours minutes.

but now i am back at work: thankful i have a job (with benefits), a great marriage (with benefits), and a beautiful, healthy child.

(but i can still be sad.)

(and binge drinking is acceptable in this situation, yes?)

that is all. carry on.

Totally their loss. I am sorry. I know it sucks when you don't get a job you really want.

On a positive note you do have the cutest child ever born, so there's that.

i'm sorry, i'm sure it was their loss. it's totally okay to be disappointed and cry. i haven't even gotten an INTERVIEW for a job yet and i've been trying for a month, so... i do understand. chin up. things will get better! they have to, right? ;)

i'm glad you're sticking around. seriously.

Aw, Kat! Sorry about the job thing. I have felt that way plenty of times. I guess it's like dating and eventually you'll find "the one" and you'll be so glad you didn't end up with the "wrong one." Yeah, I just realized how fluffy that sounded. Maybe just cry about it and be bitter. That works for me too : )

P.S. I bookmarked your blog a few years ago and I refuse to update the bookmark name it assigned at the time. It still says "Kat and Karl 2006..." and I love that! 3 years and counting!
