Defeat and Therapy
I almost had a job lined up. I must admit, at first I was exicted of the prospects. This job was listed on Craig's List, and had a great line in the ad about respect and kindess to patients and employees alike. And also boasted would train for the right person. Oh, the office was Chicago Smile/Design. Okay, so I submit resume. I get a call. I get an interview. I get a working interview...all for the front desk...you know where you sign patients in and out and bill them...
Well, they didn't pick me. I was their only canidate, but they still didn't pick me. So, after feeling pissed, and after feeling down about my luck, I decided that ultimately, I'm totally angry. This is my therapy session:
Dear Dr. T and all your little girls that work for you,
Hi, it's Nina. Remember me? Oh sure you do, you know, the girl that came in for a "working interview" on Tuesday? Right, right...Yeah, thanks for that chance. I didn't get a chance with you guys calling so late last night to tell me that I wasn't going to get the job...that you were just going to appoint some dental assistant to do it. So, thank you. Thank you for putting an ad on Craig's List, which, undoubtedly I, along with countless others foolishly thought this was a prime opportunity, and a great sounding gig. Boy were we idiots. Thanks for the first interview where all the little girlys got a chance to act professional by interviewing me, one by one, not really asking any questions. That was fun. OH! And really, many thanks for giving me a "working interview" too! I know that it's such slim pickings out there, and you have no other choice but to make people come and and pretend that they work in your little salon style office. I know, I know...you can never really be sure if people really can alphabetize and speak on the phone, so you make them try out, while giving them other dumb busy work to do. I liked pulling the charts and then putting them back. That was the best fun ever!!! EVER!!! Oh, one more thing. I really wanted to give you guys big ups for the whole black suit thing. I've never, EVER, seen an office of FBI wanna-Be's running a dental office like that before. Sure isn't something you see in good ole' Shawnee, Oklahoma often. I mean, y'all looked so growed up and professional like all dressed in black...my goodness Bessy! Yeah...that suit I picked up for my "working interview" (which I wasn't even paid for) is really going to come in handy the next time someone I know DIES!!! So fuck you very much, I had a great fucking time, and girls...if Dr. T tells you to bend over, I hope you like it! Or maybe it's Dr. T that should be worried. Ta ta...gotta burn some pants.
Love Nina.
Well, that would've felt better if I could have said it to their smug faces while weilding the bird....
