Life is interesting...
I received the rejection letter in the mail yesterday.
Bummer... It's been a while since I have wanted something that badly.
However:
There are some things that I noticed in this process:
1. I was able to get the attention of a very talented team at an organization that I am impressed with. This is a shift because it means that I would (and potentially could) 'join a club that would have me as a member'. That's new.
2. I took a risk. Something I don't like doing.
3. I didn't get what I wanted and was surprisingly okay with it. I am not saying that I am apathetic or happy about it - I am very disappointed. However, this does not define who I am, it is just something that's happening... not unlike waiting in line at the bank, eating a meal or typing words on a screen... it is as it is...
4. Something has shifted with my current job. I still have grown to dislike (almost hate) the organization where I work, but now I absolutely know that, whatever is going on there has nothing to do with me.
5. I have more paper to print my resume, more envelopes and more stamps...
I am pleasantly surprised that, while this is disappointing, it isn't a defining moment at all.
Meanwhile, someone sent me this and I opened it today.
