Definitely a weird feeling. I dunno. Still frustrated about the whole intern->designer, me->not designer business, but at least got to talk it through with Ei-Nyung this morning. It still doesn’t say, make a whole lot more *sense*, but at least I guess I’m more or less kind of okay with it. And if that sounds dodgy, it is. But fuck, what am I gonna do about it? I’ve got a thing I’m working on, and it’ll either work out or it won’t, but I want it to stand on its own two feet, and not be potentially compromised by me feeling like a schmuck about this. Hell, maybe I’m missing something important, and it’s all well and good. I have no fucking clue. But it does … well, it makes me fucking livid that this person, whose got about 4-5 months of relevant experience, now has my dream job. Fuck that. Gah.
*sigh*
Ok, so I’m not at all ok with it. But I guess in a professional capacity, I just suck it up and deal. Hope other opportunities come along, and aren’t given to underqualified kissasses instead. Not that that’s fair to her, but fuck that, this is my blog.
“Hope other opportunities come along, and aren’t given to underqualified kissasses instead.”
They will go to underqualified kiss-asses. Don’t delude yourself (I know the temptation well). The times that they don’t are the rare exceptions, not the rule. You have to learn to compete on their level to the extent that you’re comfortable with and maybe more than you’re comfortable with. Or, you have to get used to the idea that people will pass you over, but take solace in the fact that you competed on your own terms.
