I hate you too

While in college I learned a lot about medieval chronological recording processes. It was not uncommon for a person to back-edit official records in order to fix mistakes they had made or even to claim legitimacy or ownership due to a longer standing claim. Well, I had some exciting news, I had applied for an A/V technician job that I actually met the requirements for... But then... As I sat here all week awaiting a reply I wondered why I wasn't called immediately. See, the job had about five requirements, all of which quite odd in combination with one another. For example, how many audio technicians do you know who have degrees, and have clearances? My bet would be none (except for me) because if you have a clearance why are you doing AV work, and if you're doing AV work why would you get a clearance? Well, I was super excited about this job thing since I was certain that the chances of someone else fulfilling the requirements as well as I did were slim to none... Well... I went back online to see if the job was still open and guess what I found. Back-editing at its best. The job is now an A/V engineering job, which requires audio-video feed integrations and sampling experience, experience with integrated design processes, and a whole bunch more "technical" stuff what it didn't before. So what probably happened was, they got my resume, said to themselves "wow this kid totally meets our requirements, but totally is not what we were looking for, we should re-write the requirements and not tell him we were being stupid and asking for the wrong thing." Sorry, I know it's not their fault that I got my hopes up since I found a job that was near by, sounded interesting, and I met the requirements for and would probably be paid well for... oh wait... it is. Well... I guess I'd feel better if they would have contacted me and said something like "oops, our bad" but instead I waited all week excited for nothing. This sounds familiar, like all those times I spent time getting to know a girl, just to ask her out a week after she starts dating some other jerk who ends up hurting her and leaving her by which time my window of opportunity is gone. Yeah, I did just relate jobs to women, what of it, life is unfair, deal with it, my way of coping is complaining to you so Bleah!
