In reply to guess who got the job? (trigger?who the f*ck knows, posted by sleepygirl on January 29, 2006, at 13:58:14
I'm so sorry.
Take a deep breath.
Yes, she's catty. And yes, we'd like to gouge her eyes out for you! But do you know what's even better... heaping coals.
Send her a very nice, hand-written note of congratulations, immediately! Wish her all the best. And while you're at it, send one to those who interviewed you, if you haven't already.
This will accomplish a few of things:
It will set you on the road to releasing the anger you have about the situation. Then maybe you will be able to take a calm, logical look at the situation in a few days, and possibly see that this really wasn't where you need to be. I know you need a job, but maybe your having gotten hired would have prevented you for the job you WILL BE HIRED FOR. I know it's hard to be positive in a sitation like this, but try it this once for crazy mother teresa.
It will also make you feel better for doing the right thing, even though you don't want to. You will always regret not taking the high road. You will look back and laugh someday, and you'll feel really good about having sent them. You will feel stronger.
AND, as a bonus, if she has any concsience at all, it'll make her feel like a big fat dog turd. Which wouldn't hurt her at all, considering her history... ;~}
Don't give up hope. Especially over somebody like her. She's just not worth it and you definitely are!
