I just got an email from LG Electronics.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time recently to meet with us regarding our need for a Paralegal. We enjoyed meeting with you and appreciated your patience throughout our search process."

Yeah, I never had an interview with them.
I did apply back in July, but never heard anything from them until today.

Oh, this would be so much fun to craft a witty response to!!
If, that is, you don't intend to ever, ever potentially seek employment there again.

 

[sm4him]

Oh yeah, the rest of it was the requisite, "You're awesome and all, but no, you don't get a job. Do not pass Go, do not collect your $200."

Well, yeah.

I find that interviews that never actually happen tend to never end well.

At least they actually sent an email. I usually find out when the job is re-posted or I check a web site for a status and just see that the position has been filled.

It's true, they did send an email. They probably meant to send it to someone else, but at least they have the decency to notify the people who did have interviews but won't get the job.

Except for ONE person, who is still waiting to hear from them, because YOU got their email.

Eh, it was a longshot anyway. My Contracts prof worked there so I thought he might be able to put in a good word, but I don't know if he even has any involvement in the hiring process. I suppose I could have emailed him and asked him to give a recommendation or something, but truth be told, I didn't really want the job anyway. It's across the river and it's contract administration. Ew on both counts.

Yeah, someone might be pissed if they ever find out!

Are you looking to get out of teaching, or just looking for a supplemental income?

Ideally it would just supplement. As much as grading essays makes me want to run headlong into a brick wall, I am not ready to leave teaching. But I also can't afford to stay in this current situation much longer. There are changes afoot in the college and I'm hoping some of them will end up benefiting me, but in the meantime, I figured it would be good to be trained in a back-up job.

I feel used.
Limr was warming up and getting closer to me ... just to push me aside and post beyond me in the leaderboard.
I feel so violated now.

First of all, I think you liked it.

Second of all, holy crap, how did I move up to 4th???

And third, after an afternoon of postwhoring, I think you can call me Lenny

Well, okay Lenny. Granted it was pretty good to awesome ...

and I don't get it how I got on the Leaderboard again!?

 

[limr8 6]

6 minutes of some postwhoring and then I have 4 more essays to grade. I was going to push through the last five but just hit a wall, so I graded the grammar quizzes as a "break."

Did you ever leave it? I can't remember.
