Thank You For Your Interest

I just found out today that I didn't get a job that I interviewed for a couple weeks ago. I know that you have to do your best, get back in the saddle and turn that frown upside down, but dammit, I'm pretty frickin' disappointed.

After I got the news this morning, I paused to read the desk calendar entry for today. We have a daily desk calendar in our office that has inspirational suggestions for each day. (Aaron got it for Christmas, but never tore the days off, so I brought it to work.) I ususally want to hurl this calendar accross the room because it sounds like some kind of goody-two-shoes social worker kind of person. However, today's entry says, "Things are very often not as they seem at first glance. And because this is true, it makes a great deal of sense to be less reactive and panicked when something appears problematic." Reading it today was strangley comforting, kind of like a good omen.

However, while I am working on being less reactive, I think I will wallow in self pity for a little while longer. When I'm done with that, I'm going to check out some more motivational sayings. I think this has to be my favorite poster. Hee hee. I kind of forgot to wallow there for a minute...
