Pounding the Pavement

The company I work for has been bought out recently and no one really knows what is going to happen to us but were pretty sure that our jobs will go any week now. Which sucks cause I just got this flippin job, got comfortable and now I have to go out and start the job search all over again. It is SO not easy.


Well being the wonderful and skilled artist/graphic designer that I am I keep getting rejection letter after rejection letter. I'm starting to feel real bad about myself because no one wants me. Then low and behold I get an email from the local TV station. They want me, the really WANT ME! Well they really want me to fill out the application and bring it to the station with samples of my work, which I did today.


So I pull on my professional clothes and head down to the station. After parking the car, I adjust my shirt, square my shoulders and walk inside the building. The receptionist greets me, I return the greeting and hand her the envelope containing the goods. We exchange idle chit-chat for a moment then I bid her adieux, turn on my heal and push open the door which catches the rug and slams me face first. As I back away from the door I hear the receptionist say behind me "other door" I mumble thanks and head out the other door.


Yep, I think I'll get the job...
