I didn't get the job.

Adam called me in to thank me for applying, and to tell me who got it and why the decision was made. When I heard it was R., I immediately agreed he is an excellent choice. R started as a driver, has driven every route, moved to the warehouse and recently has been taking on more responsibility in regards to supervision and doing the paperwork. So his learning time for the position will be a lot shorter than mine would have been. R is also well liked, can take and give shit with the best of them, and I think he'll be a good fit for the job.

Of course, the first thing I'm going to do when it's announced that he's been selected is form a revolutionary movement to overthrow his Russkie ass. He'll love that.

While not getting the job is disappointing; it's not the end of the world. I still have a job I absolutely love, and now know where I need to work on for the next open position. I'm still looking at doing some classes, possibly online ([livejournal.com profile] kshandra pointed out that one of Mission College's Business Certifications could be obtained entirely through distance learning) and I'll still scan Craiglist every so often for juicy offers.

Of course, I could always go back to my job at the Large Hadron Collider (tip of the hardhat to [livejournal.com profile] blackfyr for finding the photo.)

I'm glad that the guy who did get the job, if it isn't you, is someone you like and can work well with.

And damn, that photo is uncanny.

Thank goodness they hired intelligently from within if they couldn't pick you for it.

I've seen that photo & thought about sending you the link myself.

I've also been passed over, sometimes for someone I could respect & sometimes for a crony of the boss. No need to explain which I prefer.

Good luck, & good attitude.

bummer dude.....
