Dammit.<\/p>\n
I didn’t get the job at MBS. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
The lady was really nice on the phone. She said I was the first runner up candidate, and I would absolutely have had the job but an internal candidate who knew more about how their branch worked applied for it and won.<\/p>\n
Got a promising call from my old manager this morning saying she might have something for me at my old branch that would be more challenging, but when I called her back this afternoon, she was very curt and basically asked me what new skills I was bringing back with me, and what did I think I was qualified to do, other than my old job? I gave a couple of examples, and she did not sound impressed. Said she had to rush off to a manager’s meeting and hung up. Have not heard back. <\/p>\n
Bad scheduling mix-up at work, very rushed, not my fault *at all*, but made me look bad in front of the Deputy. Grr.<\/p>\n
Completed my “begging letter” for part-time reinstatement into the Master’s program next semester. Will fax it out tomorrow with notes. Not liking my odds, given today.<\/p>\n
I wonder if the decimal point<\/a> has anything to do with all this?<\/p>\n I think I should go home and sulk now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dammit.
