Yes, so I have been rejected once more at work. This once again came with some splashes of joy as I was told I would get some new things to do to help out my 'experience' level. It has also confused me beyond a level which I cannot understand. On the one hand I think "Geez, I guess they think I am useless," on the other I think "but they gave me an employee of the month award, and if they didn't want me there, I would have been fired right?" I am wondering if they want to test me and see if I am capable of doing something other than mail which is why they didn't accept me into this position but are going to give me some responsabilities related to it.
Frustration only because of one reason: college degree. I've said this many times before and will say it again. A college degree doesn't make anyone smarter. But, it is supposed to give me an edge in the corporate world over someone who doesn't have one right? Well, for the position I have applied for, many times they put temps in and what not. Why then is this so difficult for me to get in? I can only be lead to believe such thoughts as "I do my job so well, that they don't want to interrupt the flow of things." It is a pretty sucky feeling right now, but what will be worse is when I go back on Tuesday, seeing who they picked for the position, and then feeling the heartbreak knowing that I have a much more dependable attendance record than the person they picked.
Well, I will be going to the Atlantic on a little fishing trip, hopefully I won't think about anything except the fish.

I'm not some dumb and ignorant kid they would hire, so I don't know why the management would think as such because my hourly pay isn't as much as theirs. But that's the buddy-fucking of corporate, civilian America. No one cares about their subordinates (in fact try to exploit them as much as the law allows them) in the civilian sector, and people wonder why servicemembers go back in or make a career of the military. They choose to go back where the sane people are.
That's why you can never go to Sea World.
