I didn't read this email until just today. I ...Wow. I didn't read this email until just today. I know by now they've already called you back to go in for a second interview, so this isn't necessary, but I'm going to say it anyway. You do NOT blow at everything you audition/try out for. That is lame. You're great. It just happens that there are a lot of other great people too. I have been feeling a lot of lameness lately as well, but we all just need to buck up and focus on our strengths. Your strengths: brilliant, happy, fun, beautiful voice, dedicated, hard-working, and so on and so forth. Or at least as far as I've observed. Don't get down. You're great.Vanaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611431219405761367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987220383000150826.post-73561569738425219582008-10-10T12:19:00.000-06:002008-10-10T12:19:00.000-06:00ahhh... see i think that maybe you'll meet the lov...ahhh... see i think that maybe you'll meet the love of your life at your new job and she just wasn't gonna work there....she's too cool for that place. ha (sorry to those who DO or HAVE worked there).

Just do what Jack does. Let all the anger and dissapointment come in and then count "1-2-3-4-5" and then you take charge. Or....it goes something like that. :) Also most of the great men we respect didn't always have things work out for them either. Maybe you will be the next great man of the country and world! I can totally see it.

(Although I think you're somewhat kidding, here right? You don't really think that?)<BR/><BR/>Remember, there could be so many reasons why you might not be what they're looking for, beyond your teaching ability (I'm sure you're nothing short of stellar)(I just said "stellar") I can't really provide examples of what those things might be, because I have no clue, but... okay, this is a sorry attempt to make you feel better. But still. I'm very surprised and I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. But for the record, and I would have said this regardless of if you needed buoying up today, I think you're one of the most talented (in many areas) and amazing people I ever knew.<BR/><BR/>The end.McKenna Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576680072687857399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987220383000150826.post-33661930997235206752008-10-07T20:03:00.000-06:002008-10-07T20:03:00.000-06:00That is lame. lame. lame.

But I know what you mean, and how you feel. Yuck.

I've had this happen to me many times in the last few months and it is one of the most aggravating things I have experienced in the world of jobs. The most recent one, the data entry one I wrote about, was one of the worst--it's a completely mindless job where all you have to do is type information into the computer. I had a REALLY good interview, hit it off really well with the two women conducting it, and felt really good about it when I left. Plus I freaking type 100 words per minute and know a lot about computers. How much more qualified for a data entry job can you get? And yet... I didn't get it. So, so stupid.<BR/><BR/>I'll cross my fingers with your Hmong friend that it was a mistake. Otherwise, though I feel bad saying it about the MTC... jerks. Don't worry, something will come along. I know very well that that is not remotely helpful, but it's still true. (In related news, I finally got a job today. :) It pays pretty crappy, but I don't care; it's a job I'll enjoy, and it pays enough for what I need.) <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756100255225154751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987220383000150826.post-43691231181694261592008-10-07T11:19:00.000-06:002008-10-07T11:19:00.000-06:00I hold true to my statement!
