Take a chance you stupid HO

You know how you attend an interview with a supposed Fortune 500 company, top-notch, top rated firm and they neglect to inform you that you didn't get the job, leave you dangling for weeks and weeks and somehow you just guess (because comon, it doesn't take that long to make a decision) that you didn't get the job, when they could have just had the decency to send you a letter "rejecting" you, its just an itch I wish I could make a Michael Moore type of documentary on.

This is the third time it has happened to me. In between I feel like calling up there and just cursing out anyone, the multitude of people in their HR department, to say, the least you could do, Oh Fortunate ones that work in this supposedly prestigious firm, the least you all could do was let me know. I left my current job, put my job in jeopardy, drove through traffic, paid for my parking, and expended my gas and energy, (and built up false hope, but that's a whole other story) and the least you could do was write me and say, Hey, it didn't work out, Shit happens. Not just totally ignore me. The lack of etiquette is unprofessional and misplaced, and it just shows that you don't deserve any of the clout you've been given.

I wonder who pitches stories for documentaries, because, this is a good one. Cut to me angry, banging on the door of a HR department, the black and white frame shows the staff frazzled wondering, who is this girl?

I am not upset, just a little disappointed, maybe I am not blonde and perky with a cute disarming smile and a humble spirit, maybe I look like the most annoying, unserious employee you will ever have, but I somehow get the job done. I really do.
