Massive Disappointment

I swear, sometimes it's barely worth getting up in the morning. I received a call today. "Thank you for your interest, however we will not be extending a job offer at this time." Well it would have been nice to have said something along those lines or at least not to lead me on and make me jump through ten hoops only to whisk the rug out at the last moment. I was so happy to have found employment that would permit me to be home with my children. I was figuring ways to make it work out and considering long-term solutions for the various associated challenges. Only to have one single judgmental error ruin everything. Ah well, by now I suppose I ought to be used to this, however I am not. I do not like being led on with lies and platitudes. But I will soldier on and find a way to make things work for me. Keep going because any other alternative just doesn't make sense to me.
