I did not get the IBM job...

I am getting drunk right now as we speak...er...post

Fuckitall!

Why does EVERY SINGLE FUCKING JOB have to be a competition to the death?

Would it be wrong of me to send my rejectors dead fish in the mail?

It worked for Rahm

Thanks

I really have no good words for you...

Just hugs, sweetie...

I'm in purchasing for a large company, and my team deals with IBM everyday. I'm sorry that you didn't get a job you wanted, but I can't imagine working there. They all seem anxious and miserable. The cut-throat attitude doesn't end once you have the job. The money is great, but I wouldn't wish working there on anyone.

Truly believe that something better will come along for you.

Why should your skills go unused because you don't fit their model? You still know how to do more than 'follow orders,' I'm sure.

And I know I would be a horrible CEO. I'd be too honest all the time.

Send the dead fish, seal it in a ziplock plastic bag with lots of foam protection and send it priority mail with their adress as the return address and put crazy glue on your fingertips to seal them and prevent leaving prints..........

They'd probably bring a bomb squad into the IBM building, it would be on the news and they'd stick you in jail just for causing all that fuss. I just know that's how it would play out, and you have enough troubles right now as it is.

You know the best revenge? Living a happy life. Show them by starting a business or getting a great job!

Yeah, that's what it feels like these days, a competition to the death.

I never liked sports as a kid. Running and things like that, sure. But not the stuff like football where people got hurt.
I like cooperation more than competition most of the time.

Well, you go ahead and get drunk, and then you go on to the next job offering. When one door closes, another one always opens.
But you are going to have a harder time of it with the back problems and the medical marijuana. I'm not saying it's right, but it's the truth.

A friend of mine was a dog walker for a year. She actually really loved the job, and made more money than a person would think. And the good part was a good deal of personal freedom and even a fair amount of freedom to change her schedule when needed.

I always thought if I started a business, I would start a petsitting business. I think there is more money in that than people realize, honestly.
