I'm wounded, and this is what I get.
Let's say for the sake of argument that the worst-case scenario plays out and you head home.
First of all, why does your tail have to be between your legs?
It took a lot of guts to leave everything you've ever known behind and move halfway across the country. You learned to drive on highways and unfamiliar roads. You've seen, heard and tasted stuff you never had before. You met new people whose paths may cross yours somewhere else one day.
You've accomplished more than you know and it has nothing to do with a job.
No experience is a mistake, Rosie. Trust in that.
Of course, all of the above still applies when you finally land that dream job you've been waiting for. Or that's been waiting for you, I should say. :-D
He can't help it, sis. He's dain-bramaged.
Thanks, Ruthy. I know I'm just stating the negative. I guess I just expected things to fall into place somewhat, and other than the leaving part, which went almost frighteningly quickly and easily, very little has happened as I hoped it would.
Going home when I haven't really had a job or many experiences here bothers me...because so many questioned my decision to come out here. If I go home in semi-defeat...I'm going to get a lot of I-told-you-sos, if only implied ones.
Well...there's still that job I'm going to call about tomorrow. I just don't have a good feeling about the fact that he hasn't called me first. Makes me wonder if he's SUPPOSED to interview three or four of us, but didn't bother with mine. But I'm imagining worst case scenarios where they don't necessarily exist.

Hi, Bear! You're just in time for my pity party!
No, seriesly, I'll stop now.
How are things?
Evenin' to ya, Bear!
And don't worry about worrying on the thread... we've all done it!
WooHoo! Best of luck with that!
Pffft! to them then! :-D
I'm proud as heck of you. I wish I'd had the guts to move, back when I had the opportunity to do so!
I think I've done more than my share, especially in the last year. ;-)
Suzi's catching up and she's amazingly on the same topic we are!
Don't borrow trouble!
I wonder who exactly would use pink duct tape.
Barbie doesn't strike me as the duct tape type.
I am so smart! S M R T! ;o)
Evening All, been catching up. Hobbits been traveling and arriving safely, excellent.
Hair: Tang, Tea, Bourbon. (or similar home-made cure-all)
Rosie: most of us have walked in those very shoes, we're all here, one for all and all for one.
Evenin' Master Bowman!
