It Comes Around

So this is freakin' hilarious. I mean, I started laughing alone in my buildings hallway, it's so damn funny.

Remember the crazy lady who lost my file, accused me of never sending one, gave my job to someone else, "found" my file, and then asked me to handwrite a letter of apology for telling her she lost my file? Remember that? Well, after exchanging some firey emails, I think the two of us pretty much agreed to disagree, and I refused to write her a letter of apology just to get a job... she was the one who was wrong after all.

I fretted quite a bit because it's very hard to find a well-paying job in a foreign country. I got nervous and even considered writing the apology (someone said, "Would it have been too much to just swallow your pride?" and I said, "Hell yeah, it woulda!") but I couldn't even figure out how I would word it: "I apologize that I pointed out you do not do your job. Maybe I should have sent you flowers or chocolates to let you know next time?" I really don't know what she was expecting.

Anyway, so I dwelled on the whole issue for several weeks, wondering if I should just buckle and ask for the job anyway.

But today, I have had:

- one person contact me about a teaching job
- one person contact me about another article
- someone in Switzerland contact me about some site design
and...
- the bitch from the previous job sent me a full contract in the mail.

Obviously, I'm going ot wait to see how the other things pan out first. I'd rather not work for the bitch's establishment if given the choice. My bet is that her boss got the copy of the email I sent and was like, "Um... did I read that right? Did you really ask her to apologize for your mistakes?" And then they realized they needed me to work for them and instead of coming out and saying, "Yo, we're like, so totally sorry about that mishap" they were just like, "Um... I dunno... send her a contract and see if she'll work for us anyway."

Fucking hilarious.
