So, yeah, after bothering them I finally just now got a call from some other person than I left the voicemail for, and found out I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week.
Sort of expecting it, but still a bummer.
I want to start in on a big rant about the complete lack of social courtesy and what I can only call the quivering, lazy, cowardise of every interviewer I've ever met with not being able to simply call me when they said they would with either good or bad news, or even to return my badgering voicemails just to TELL ME I didn't get a job instead of leaving me to sit and wait until my own lack of self-confidence convinces me I didn't. If I didn't allow this stuff to make me nuts, I'd have to keep pursuing other jobs and be non-commital about taking them, making my chances for getting either job worse, so it's just easier for them to tell me to fuck off and then I'll move on.
Do they think I'm going to cry or yell at them on the phonefor not hiring me? I don't get it. They expect me to be a responsible adult during the process, but they can't be bothered to talk to anyone else but the person they hire ever again.
Yeah, I want to start on a rant about that, but I won't. Oh wait, I did? shit.
Guess this means I need to offically step up the new job search.
I'm looking forward to taking this week/two to try and hammer on my homework and finish that up strong, then hopefully try and do some more work with all that to get a slightly decent Maya Modeling/Design Reel together to send out.
Ultimately, I need to be more concerned about working than I currently am, though. In a few weeks I'll realize fully how much I took that last job for granted and I'll feel a lot like I did before I got it, and that was not a fun place to be emotionally or otherwise.
-Sigh. My parents were nuts for ever letting me go to art school.
