Payback's a b*$&%

So I had a job interview last Friday and I was super excited because I updated my resume Wednesday and got a call from the hiring manager that same day. That never happens to me. The job was a Recruitment Specialist and would have given me a challenge and been the type of job that I've been looking for.

I was so happy and so sure that I had this job that I started thinking about how I was going to make life miserable for my co-workers by telling my manager EVERYTHING they've done wrong from day one. I was so busy planning how I was going to get back at them and get revenge that I didn't even once think it wasn't my place to do that. Not once did I consider that my manager already knew how my co-workers and "so called" team lead acted. Not once did I just think to myself that everything would be handled and that if got this new job it wouldn't even matter or be of any consequence to me. I was so focused on plotting my revenge.

Well, unfortunately I didn't get the job. But I did have a nice time talking to the hiring manager who told me if anything else became available, she would keep me in mind. Maybe if I'd been focused on putting my best foot forward to get that job instead of making my co-workers miserable I would've gotten the position; or maybe not. But I won't let my ego get the best of me next time. I'll focus on what I want and where I want to be, while still doing my job to the best of my ability and making my customers happy.

Paybacks a b*$%&.
