Did not get

a job.

The job.

The one that certainly was not going to change the world, not even my little corner of it, but it was the job that I wanted.  Apparently I am good enough to be a resource, to teach, but not to be employed by the project, the position, that was offered without actually being offered a month ago.  Carrot and stick.  I am such a sucker for that.  Sort of a replay from last year.  I wonder if I am marked somewhere with the universal symbol for 'fool'.  Kind of like that "Kick Me" sign that gets slapped onto your back by the person you thought was your friend.


So, anyway, the press release was released today and someone was 'kind' enough to share it with me, asking if I knew about it and when I replied that I did, it was suggested that I volunteer to help. 

I guess I am good enough to do that.

So sad tonight and no damn fun food in the house.
