The job search continues and continues to wear on my soul.

I got a rejection for a job this week that was frustrating because it came about two weeks later than they said I would be hearing back. That there was no hint of an apology for this makes me more frustrated because it is the sort of courtesy that would have cost them absolutely nothing.

My feelings are pretty mixed. I wouldn’t have called it my dream position, but it looked like a compelling challenge that would have lined up with a number of my interests in a way that I never really expected to find. But there were some red flags about the company that I had talked myself into accepting. Maybe it is all for the best.

Meanwhile, I continue to apply, I continue to learn, I continue to try.
