    I never got called or emailed back, and I see the newspaper in question is sporting a brand new writer. So I can tell I didn't get the job...no shock there. My main thought is whether or not I'd have gotten it if my mother didn't storm down there and whine at the editor.

    Oh well. Gah, I hate living around here - the only other jobs are for truck drivers, welders, oil drilling, and paper routes for kids. And basically a few other things I am not qualified for (like RN, child therapist, accountant). No wonder there have been so many burglaries around here lately - probably no one can find a job and it's more lucrative to steal shit and sell it.

        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

          Maybe call them just to see. Maybe they have something else available.

          And yeah, if she's actively preventing you from getting a job...It's never gonna stop.

            Chiming in late, but she gives you conflicting information to confuse you and make it more difficult for you to understand what she really wants, which makes you easier to belittle and control.
