LOL! I got told I wasn't selected for a job I applied for.

I applied for a Video Production Specialist position with University of Houston-Downtown in August. I hadn't heard anything from them at all since. That is...until earlier tonight.

"Dear (my real name which I will not post here),

"We have received your application for the position Video Production Specialist I -- STA0003185. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you have not been selected for this position.

"We invite you to visit the career section of our website regularly.

"We thank you for your interest in University of Houston-Downtown and wish you all the best in your career.

"Best regards,

"University of Houston-Downtown

"Employment Services and Operations"

 

Now normally, I wouldn't be laughing. I'd be pretty upset. But what's funny is I applied for it two months ago. Not only that, but I didn't even get called in for an interview. So yeah, I had already moved on from even thinking I had a shot. If they were trying to get a hold of me, well, they should've left a message. I didn't even get an email for an interview . (Not that I know of, at least.)

 

The hilarity of it all. Like Schwarzwald said, this (life) really is a comedy. A black comedy, but a comedy nonetheless.

I applied in August, not September.

And you still had ass worms. In your ass.

Now that is...Well, actually, that's pretty sad, man. I know you live in rural Tennessee, but I grew up in the sticks of Southeast Texas. I played football in the mud as a kid. Hell, we even played football in a muddy ditch one time. And you wanna know something, Nabbers? I never got ass worms.

But yeah, you're totally winning at life. So much so that you somehow got ass worms, somehow cooked a mouse in an oven, and you "wash" your clothes by driving around with them in the back seat.

Yep. You're a real winner, dude. You're the smartest man in the room. Everybody needs to follow your example and get ass worms. Maybe then the world will be a better place.

I don't think one gets ass worms from playing sports in the mud; one gets them from eating rotten food out of dumpsters.

I think that's pretty common for state and government jobs. They hire slow in general. 

I had applied for a similar job with the local school district, but they were much swifter in their responses. I didn't get that job either, but at least they brought me for an interview and told me they went with someone else within a week's time. The university, as far as I know, never even contacted me for an interview so I forgot about the whole thing.

I've had places send me that e-mail 6+ months after I applied, long after I forgot I even applied.

Also I once started applying to CVS but eventually gave up because it was like a 2+ hour online assessment for a shitty call center job and I decided it wasn't worth it. They kept e-mailing me saying my profile would expire and progress would be lost after a certain date. But then they just kept e-mailing me inviting me to finish the application.

Don't do that. Trust me, the legal age teenage hotties only view LOL as a text-based expression. If you actually do it in person, they'll think you're creepy. 🐰

You really should step your troll game up.

Would you like to know something, Mr. Chode? I miss the old you. I miss the Zeni who would complain about not getting dates with girls his age. Now, you're just like Matthew McConaughey's character in "Dazed and Confused", except for the fact you just come off as a major creep. At least when I first met you, you seemed more genuine. Now? Well, now you're just a fake ass little dude who really thinks we like this sort of thing. In fact, you're pretty much like Haku, who was a pedophile. That's right. A pedophile.

Do yourself a favor and find a way to invent a time machine that travels forward and backward in time so you can go back to the old you. We'll all be better people for it.

And they were totally lulzworthy, right? I know this one was. Boy howdy.

Lmao, well listen, you're talking about when I was an older teen, and my interests in women haven't changed, so I do love that older teenage woman range. 🎅

Again, I am aware of that. It wasn't creepy back then. Unfortunately, things change.

I'll leave it at that. Take it for what you will. Now quit derailing my thread, asshole! >:( (Kidding about the asshole part. Please get back on topic. Thanks.)

I don't get how it's creepy lol, I'm exactly the same, but yes back on topic... I forgot what the topic was....

It's your age.

 

Topic: I got a rejection letter (automated, of course) nearly three months after applying for a job and didn't even get contacted for an interview. Therefore, I found the phrase "after careful consideration" very lulzworthy.
