Funny the way it is

Last week while I was waiting to hear about whether or not I was about to get a job, I was feeling depressed.  Not rock-bottom.  But I felt down.

As the days dragged on I assumed I didn't get it.  Employers are getting worse and worse about not notifying candidates they choose not to hire; even candidates that they did ten interviews with.  So I could feel the bad news coming.

Today I got the confirmation that I did not get the job.  I'm distracted.  I'm thinking about what I should do next. But I'm not depressed.  Annoyed.  Frustrated.  But not depressed.
