I Did My Best... I Did My Best

If you've ever seen Dane Cook's "A Viscous Circle" then you'll understand the title.

I called the company in Wisconsin this morning and it appears they've decided to pass on me. I would be lying if I said that my heart wasn't broken. With my experience, grades and achievements I thought I was a perfect candidate. Apparently they didn't think so and what's worse is they won't tell me why.

My confidence is a bit shaken and I'm going to have to start looking for consulting positions again. I'm really hoping the Tulsa job makes an offer soon. The thought of making weekly plane trips to client sites and spending more time in hotel beds than in my own depresses me. But if it's my only option then I have to go with it.

What's fun is that the further I get from graduation the less likely it is I'll ever get a development job. So, if I take a consulting position I pretty much sign the death certificate on my software career.

All I can do is have a little faith and hope things get better.
