I need a hug :(

I found out today I didn't get a job I interview for over a month ago. I sort of assumed I wasn't going to....

So I found out today I didn't get it. It was for a company that owns a few local newspapers and I'd be working for one and helping at some others.

Well the editor of one of these papers called to tell me today he wanted me to do some freelance work for him since I didn't get the job, only to find out no one had told me yet I didn't get it. So he felt bad but wants to give me some work, sweet.

I was OK, a little bummed but it was fine.

Then my current editor calls me and tells me I didn't get it and he was sorry...and that another girl did.

OK. Not cool. There are not many female sports writers out there...and in my old city I was the only sports writer between two local papers. The bigger paper had a female editor but no female writers in the area besides me.

And in school there were only two of us in my year, maybe three or four, counting me, who were hardcore wannabe sports writers, and we were a top 10 J school.

So I'm totally bitter.

And when my ed told me, I started crying to H....I was fine until then but now I'm bitter and sad. IDK if I even really want to keep writing and have been feeling this way for quite some time, but who likes rejection?

GRRRRR.

Ok. Vent over.

Thanks.

big hugs!! Hang in there girl. You'll find your place.

I'm going through a similar situation at work that's making me doubt if I want to do nursing anymore. I just keep thinking... it will get better or something better will come along. Just have to get over this rough patch first.

awww hugs coming your way! This just means there is something better out there for you. Stay strong and good luck in your job search! Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve, those people don't know what they're missing.
