This recession is really the sh*ts isnt it? Things are tough for everyone, I know, so I dont like to whine about my situation, but I'm just feeling pretty crap right now, so I have to vent a little bit.
Feel free to skip the rest of the message if you dont want to hear me whine.
Ok, so I applied for this new job, working for the county. I would be basically back doing what I was doing at my old job, just on a slightly bigger scale. On the plus side, I would NOT be responsible for the phone system, that is a completely separate beast.
I had my interview on Monday, and i really dont feel like it went as well as it could have. TBH, I was pretty nervous in there.. sitting across the table from a few interviewers is nothing new, but this was just.. different somehow.
I dont think that I put on my best, and today I got the "thanks, but no thanks" call. I sort of had the feeling all week that I wasnt going to get the job, so I wasnt too suprised.
The thing is that it's TRIPLE the money I'm making now (which isnt enough.. we are falling behind every week right now), and the benefits are incredible. (I have no benefits right now..)
So yeah, I'm just feeling really crap right now, because this was a shot at turning things around, and it fizzled out. I think I'll go home and have a beer.
