I wasn't really holding my breath for this, but it would have been nice to at least get the second interview.
Even if it were to just humor me. I didn't tell many people about this, in fear of jinxing myself. Guess it doesn't matter... I'm never going to get another
good job, am I? JOY! Happy Birthday 2 me! Excuse me while I go kill myself.
