"Life is a Rock" -- Katrina perhaps but always a treat for me.

BOS to Jim Croce, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song."  When I was pursuing lyric-writing more fervently, that was the kind of concise completeness I strove for.  (Alas, I didn't know how to write melodies, only how to steal them, so I don't really do songwriting anymore.)

This totally suits my mood.

That really great job I was hoping for didn't materialize.  I was actually a candidate for both the 2nd & 3rd spots that opened up in this group, and have been passed over both times in favor of someone with direct industry experience.  Everyone kept telling me that I'd be a really good fit on the team & that my background would be a very good fit for the job, but in the end there's always someone with more relevant experience.

Bridge of Sighs indeed.

There's still some chance a 4th spot will open up & I'll get one more shot, but in the meantime I have to re-commit emotionally to this job until something better comes along.

Sigh.

indeed, that was lovely to hear today. Bob's been excellent lately, really giving Dave a run for his money. (Of course, Bob doesn't have to play late '80s/early '90s.)

WOS Clapton. We all know how I feel about this lyric (I know he didn't write it, but sheesh).

Argh.  I'm very sorry to hear this.  Putting on my job-coaching hat, I wonder if it would be possible for you to capitalize on your new ties with the people who were considering you this week.  Do they have a project you can help them on during free weekend hours, or do you have some connection that they can benefit from -- anything to involve yourself in their business so they can see how invaluable you are.  In my case it took four months of interning at the Voice to demonstrate my usefulness to them.  In your case it hopefully wouldn't take something so pronounced.

Ahhh, crap. Sorry to hear that, man. I know what you're feeling--I had something like that happen about three years ago. Went all the way thru the interview process, thought I had it just about wrapped up, and then they gave it to someone else who worked in a different department of the company. Arrrrgggghhh.
