employment elevator
Don’t you just love it when you complete an interview with some employer, come off super excited, they seem to like you, you like the company, and they’re all YEAH I’LL GET BACK TO YOU, TAA
And they proceed to say absolutely nothing, even after your follow up email (carefully timed, like a fucking callback after a date).
and yet
For the next like TWO WEEKS, you see them, the ever-savvy gmail user, automatically pop into your Gtalk friends list, just chillin’ all silent. You could delete them from that list in three clicks, but instead you leave them there, clinging onto the feeble hope that they too have you as their buddy, and one day their eyes might hover over your little green button and go “gosh, I should probably write back to that Gowdey kid and let him know the status of his position!”
I just love that.
