The laziest post ever

So, I have a very frustrating situation at work... but I don't feel like typing out the whole drama again... so I'll just cut-n-paste from emails that I have sent to DH and Jeffro today.

Hey,

So I'm a little disappointed, but I think that they have already found someone else to fill the opening position in the office. The girl who is leaving was talking to the girl in the cubicle next to mine (who is supposed to be coordinating the effort) and it sounded like they were talking about someone who was a good fit and arranging with the HR rep to make it happen.

I'm so totally bummed, but whatever right. When God closes a door
he opens a window or some such crap.

Argh. Oh well... I knew that it was never a sure thing, but I did
think that it was as close as I was ever going to get. Maybe things will
work out for my Jan. rotation with the Fish folks. If not, I don't know
what I am going to do - but I won't know about that until July of next
year anyway, which is a long time in which to consider my other options.

Argh x2. Eavesdropping sucks.

That does suck. Are you sure it wasn't you they were talking about?
If not you, then I'm sure something else will work out, as you say.

Hey babe,

I was pretty sure it wasn't me - but about 2 minutes later the girl
who is "coordinating" things started asking me what I felt like I had
accomplished in my month here. I was joking around a bit, and then I
caught that she was trying to get me to "read between the lines" and
make sure that I had a list of accomplishments for my month here to show
when the position got circulated.

So now, needless to say, I am totally confused.

ARGH ARGH ARGH!

Is it possible to have a complete emotional 360 complete itself in the space of 5 minutes?

You know how I really want the position that is opening up in this office... well I just heard the girl who is leaving and the girl who is supposedly coordinating the hiring for that position chatting about what I thought was the person that they were going to bring on. They talked about getting in touch with the HR person, the quality of that person's connections, etc. So I was sure that they had already picked someone else out and all that.

Then, literally like 5 minutes later, the girl who sits next to me (the one who is coordinating it all) asks me whether I feel like I have accomplished anything in my single month here. I tell her half-seriously that I wasn't really expecting to "accomplish" much considering that it was only a month, but that I had really just enjoyed the different discourse and focus of the office as opposed to my home office. She then kind of restated the question, saying that I should really try and figure out what I had worked on that might push something forward, etc. I then asked " Am I supposed to be reading between the lines, because I get the sense that I should be" and she replied "well, I just want to make sure that you are prepared if that position should get listed" at which point I felt like a high school girl getting used and abused by her college boyfriend. What should I believe, what should I be doing, are they just toying with me or do they really like me.

I thought that you would find that compelling.

ARGH!


There was a lot of frustrated "argh"ing this afternoon, needless to say.
