The Job hunt - Where Anticipation Happens

"second place just means your the first loser" - Kobe Bryant

just did a follow up call for the job. I first talked to one of my interviewers since the other one didn't answer the phone. We exchange our respective greetings. We each ask the status of each other's day. I inquire about the job that I had interviewed for. He said he believes they extended an offer to someone.

Thoughts race through my mind. Is Pacquiao going to win? How long can the Lakers bench keep up the effort showcased last night? Why is kobe SO good in the post? Is this guy telling me an offer is going to come to me soon? What am I going to eat for breakfast?

"I believe we extended an offer to someone, and you were our backup" -not Kobe Bryant

More thoughts begin to race through my mind....in a much slower fashion...my thoughts were power walking through my mind....now what? how do I end the conversation with this person? How do I sound like everything is A-okay to this person? then suddenly, POOF - thoughts just collapsed, and I tried to say good bye....but since kljasdflaksjdhf was in my mind at the time it came out as a sulky "o..ok..well thanks...I'll keep up to date then"

why did I say that? I'm not going to update. He knows that, why did he agree to me saying that I will keep up to date with them?

As if being semi-rejected weren't enough....I decided to call human resources, JUST to be sure. "Hi Julian, I was just going to call you, can you give me a second?"

A combination of their advertisements and elevator music flooded my right ear as I waited there knowing exactly what she was going to say after a brief period of making sure I'm the one they didn't pick.

"Hey, Julian, thanks for waiting, unfortunately, they did offer the position to someone else - You and the other person were the top 2 candidates, but they went with the other person after talking with the supervisor. I'm sorry, but if you are interested in our company I definitely suggest on keeping up to date with our company" -also not Kobe Bryant

Ohhh the irony...I wanted to say, LOL, like the letters straight out to her, " L-O-L, I just told the other guy that, I'm going to keep up to date!" But I decided not to pry, and I sasid "okay, thank you very much"

From the tone of her voice, I could sense that she could tell I've had better days

So that's my 3rd overall rejection... but this was definitely the closest, and I had a feeling I had this one. That's what I get for too much anticipation.

Now back to the drawing board. Back to focus. Back to determination. Back to reality.

My life - where anticipation happens.

"It's the desire to prove yourself again, and again, and again. It pushes you to the limit and then a little bit further, and it reminds you that your best, can always be better" -Kobe Bryant

not all dogs are bitches, but is a woman with a bitch...a bitch?

ok...so cookie is a nice playful dog...i walk her every morning and before i walk toward my apartment at the end of the walk, i let her off the leash because she's good, and even if there's people, (or the other dogs in the neighborhood because cookie has met them before) she's really friendly.....i digress...

someone is just moving in, she has a dog, i didn't realize until cookie got let off the leash, so she ran to go play with the dog, the owner freaks out and goes HEY hEY heY (while the dogs are like playing with each other), i'm laughing for about 3 seconds until i realize that she's an absolute bitch and i guess doesn't trust other dogs around hers and just was not comfortable;e with dogs playing.....OH THE HORROR

i can understand that it was irresponsible of me to let her off the leash, but cookie did NOT attack her, merely went to play with another dog. She starts yelling at my dog, and cookie gets scared and goes into their front door (this all occured in front of their doorstep). Then i go and get her after she yells "Get her away!" ...THEN on top of everything she says "Nice" in THE MOST SARCASTIC WAY HUMANLY POSSIBLE. I respond by saying "i'm realy sorry about that, she's really friendly though" then she just walks away with her dog...while cookie is there in shame with no one to play with, and i feel a little embarassed too.

There cookie was - head down, ears were held back, tail between her legs while we're sitting on our front stairs absorbing the events that had just ensued before our eyes ...my roommate comes out, having heard everything through the window and goes "was there a doggie fight?" I explained everything and then i said "well she was just a bitch about it" As I bring cookie inside saying "it's okay cookie...she's new, and a total bitch" - then she ran to get water.

I once again acknowledge that it was my mistake of letting her off the leash....but if another dog came at cookie and started playing with her, I would enjoy God's beautiful work of nature in its purest form - the primitive yet elegant interaction between two of man's best friends. Now these animals will be deprived of their given right to play with each other because why? Because she's a bitch that just doesn't understand that dogs need to play with each other

Funny thing about all of this, the other dog's name was Cookie. Didn't even look like any form of a cookie - too many different colors to be a cookie...maybe she can get away with it if she called her oatmeal raisin cookie...or burnt chocolate chip cookie....but NOT cookie - just means she sucks at naming dogs - friggin bitch.

Julian is done ranting. Peace
