F You Noodle

NuggetBrain

So I got a call from an agency yesterday about a job opportunity.  It would have paid what I was making at my last job, been close to our new apartment, and been long term temporary (for at least a few months).  They asked for two prospective resumes and then were supposed to do phone interviews with us both and decide who they wanted.  I was excited, SUPER excited, because it would get us through the wedding very well, and I figured I had a 50/50 shot at selling myself well during the interview.  The agency just called and said they decided to go with the other person without even interviewing.  Which, needless to say, makes me feel like sh*t.  I call Noodle to tell him and this is the conversation:

Me: Hey hon.  The agency called and I guess they decided to go with the other person without even doing an interview.
Noodle:  Really?  That sucks.  So what are you doing now then?
Me: Being depressed.  I really wanted that job.
Noodle:  Since you're not doing anything can you do laundry?

......WTF.  Compassion FAIL.  I am so irritated right now.

Male Fail for sure!!! 

They could have at least flattered you with the interview!

I think flattering with an interview would be worse than just being told flat out you didn't get the job.  At least they didn't leave you hanging, Nugs.

Serious empathy fail, Noodle.

awww... that sucks   I'm sorry.

If it makes you feel better, H had the day off and literally sat on his ass all day kind of sort of half editing his book.  I say this because the entire man cave looked like a food bomb exploded in it, complete with pizza hut boxes (yes, boxeS).  The ONE thing I asked him to do was clean the bathrooms.  I left and went to the gym and when I got home, he was still laying on the couch.  By that time, it was time to go to bed, so he went upstairs and started getting ready for bed. 

To prove a point, I was so pissed off that I spend the next 2 HOURS cleaning the bathrooms and the man cave.  I was loud, huffing and puffing, slamming doors, etc.  Not my most mature moment, but I do know that it made him feel like crap and it was satisfying.

Now I'm tired and crabby.  Meh.

That does suck. I'm sorry Nugget!
And yeah, I would absolutely not be doing laundry for a while.  Bad, bad Noodle.

Wow, I'm so sorry you have to go through that. I was unemployed for a year,and nothing makes you feel worse. Or like your not worthy then job hunting. And then to get no sympathy. You can get it here.
I'm sorry.
P.S. Just a side note my mother always told me when I didnt get a job there is a reason for everything, and you may not know why right now, but it will come clear later.
Yeah I know didnt make me feel any better either.....lol.

Are we marrying the same man?  Cause that is definately something FI would do.

In fact, I just chewed him a new one last week cause he made some smart assey comment about the cleaner smelling like lemons, and making the house smell like I actually clean more often.  He was sheepishly cowering in the corner for the rest of the night after that.  Of course his male brain though it was funny.  Served him right too.

And now he doesn't understand why I'm irritated because, and I quote, "I just asked you to do laundry."

I'm sorry about not getting the job, Nugget. That is shitty. But Noodle's severe lack of empathy is even shittier.

smokeybailey

Nugget, I am so sorry about the job.  That sucks.

redheadfsu

Sorry.Tell him he better make you a nice/ sweet dinner or his clothes will be outside.

 I know how you feel- job hunting is like getting hit in the face over & over.

JessAndTrav

That sucks, Nugget that they didn't even really give you a chance. I don't think that's fair.

I'm also sorry that Noodle is appearing to be apathetic.:(

NuggetBrain

And it's even worse because it was between me and ONE other person.  I want to call them and be like "Was my resume THAT bad, that you decided to hire somebody you'd never even met or spoken to before rather than interview me?"

I've had this happen before...and you're just like, really?

You could throw a bag of flaming poo on his front doorstep/desk.

Obviously, the solution is to cut big holes in all of Noodle's shirts.
