ravens_risingI'm a fucking idiot. Obviously I don't deserve to get a job. I missed a fucking turn because I fail at driving and directions and I was five minutes late to the interview. Which was a group interview and had already started. So no interview for Rae. Because of one stupid turn.
I hate myself.
I should've gotten up earlier and left myself more time. But of course I was too lazy.
FML.
Excuse me while I throw myself off a cliff.
I can never do anything right.
The library people really should have called by now, so most likely I didn't get that job either. So. And there are no other job options on campus at this point.

no subject
on 2010-07-19 09:46 pm (UTC)I have. They took my name & number and were just like "we'll call you back".
Considering hundred+ of people that applied- I'm not holding my breath. Lol.

on 2010-07-19 10:02 pm (UTC)Don't give up just yet, the library people might still call.
no subject
on 2010-07-20 04:16 am (UTC)Yes! Hopefully they'll call within the next couple days. (They did tell me they'd be in touch soon, so if they don't call soon they won't be ^^ but I still have a couple days before I give up on them) And I've thought of one or two other options since I made this entry, so. Hopefully thing's will work out.

on 2010-07-20 10:35 am (UTC)If they had many applications, it will take them a while to evaluate the people, so you should give them a couple of days, yeah.
That's good that you found some other options, I hope you will get a job :)

on 2010-07-19 10:05 pm (UTC)Maybe that job wasn't meant for you. And now you know to be more careful--don't beat yourself up for it, k? &hearts
no subject
on 2010-07-20 04:14 am (UTC)Maybe! And yess, I'm definitely leaving way earlier next time I have an interview!

on 2010-07-19 10:21 pm (UTC)Sometimes things are out of our control. Like, on Friday, I was five minutes late getting to work even though I left a good hour before I was supposed to be there. And you know what slowed my commute? Construction. Like everywhere.
Keep looking for something. Maybe there's some places around campus or a little ways off campus that are hiring now.
Good luck! ♥

on 2010-07-20 04:12 am (UTC)I think I'd feel better if it was actually something out of my control that was the problem, lol. This was just because I fail at directions. And, well, because I drive slow so it took longer than I thought it would. Well, at least I know next time to leave even more time!
Also, construction is definitly eviiil sometimes. I've been late to stuff before because of it too.
Yes! I'm definitely going to keep looking!
Thank you!

on 2010-07-19 10:22 pm (UTC)Sorry love, I really cannot think of anything to say that wasn't already said when we talked earlier :-/
Although... you mentioning here that it was five minutes reminds me of something: My INTERVIEWER was 20 minutes late for one of the interviews I had when trying to find a placement for my year in industry ^^;;
no subject
on 2010-07-20 04:08 am (UTC)Lol, that's okay! :) You made me feel better then ♥.
OMG LOL REALLY? If that happened to me, at first I'd feel relieved that I definitely was there on time... and then I'd be worried that s/he wouldn't hire me because that we embarrassed that I knew how late they were. Or something XD

on 2010-07-19 10:44 pm (UTC)Boy, do I feel your pain right now. Your post was pretty much my whole weekend. I am so sorry you feel this way sweetie. I know how much it sucks. *moar hugs*
But don't fret. Everything will work out. You'll find the job that's right for you, I know you will. You're awesome and intelligent and a good person. And I'm here for you if you need me. ^_^
no subject
on 2010-07-20 04:06 am (UTC)Yes! Your posts have definitely struck a chord! I was glad to see your more hopeful posts today- I'm feeling a little better now myself. It's just so frustrating, isn't it? But there are options out there.
Thank you! ♥ I'm sure you'll find something better too!

on 2010-07-19 11:20 pm (UTC)Don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes and have freakish things happen; I'm really bad at directions too. And sometimes it takes a decent while for callbacks, so all hope might not be lost.
I'm sure other options will crop up over the summer; you never know what might happen. Don't lose hope just yet. ♥
no subject
on 2010-07-20 04:04 am (UTC)Thanks. Yeah, we all make mistakes. It was just frustrating. I'm feeling a little better now. And with the callbacks, they'd said that they'd call back within a couple days, and tommorow it'll have been a week since the interview... A callback still isn't out of the realm of possibility, it just makes me a little =/.
I hope so! I'm just worried that as the school year nears more people will be looking into jobs. But I'll just keep my eyes out!

Don't be rough with yourself, it's something I've done as have others. It happens and now I know better.
You'll be right.

on 2010-07-20 05:05 am (UTC)Yep. I'm definitely leaving much earlier next time!
Thanks. :)
