I AM REJECT (with apologies to Isaac Asimov, for mis-using his book title )

phoenix Onwards and upwards m'dear, as a friend said to me not long ago xxxx

I really like the thought of metaphorical s**t.

My sister has horses and when she is p****d off she goes and "flings some shit around" as she elegantly puts it! Maybe you you should try some metaphorical shit-flinging!

J - for you. x

I'm lost about the poultry. Poultry is roasted and eaten. Phoenix is not a chicken she rises ,slightly singed above the flames.

jingl

phoenix that really is pants - onwards and upwards.

jingle

jingle we may not have always seen eye to eye, but I hope that whatever is upsetting you gets resolved.

Away to my bed now,

I'm only tired. Thank you all the same.

Phoenix your situation right now is rubbish. I'm sure we all hope you get a good job - and soon.
jingle, sorry you're feeling bad too.

Thank you all so much, you will never know how much your good wishes are appreciated.

merlot feel free! but please don't damage your vocal chords, if I was doing it and giving it the "welly" that I feel I think my voice would give out!

MiceElf Lovely though Digby is, his understanding of anything beyond sleeping and eating cat biscuits is very limited. However he is usually a very well intentioned cat, although he often gets things wrong. (Maurice would verify this, if he wasn't sulking in the spare room after Digby had mistaken Maurices swishing tail as a particularly realiatic cat toy)

anno cat "striking" almost happened a minute ot two ago when Lily (neither use not ornament) sashayed across the desk and nearly knocked my glass over!

Sorry not to mention everyone, and also sorry to sound a bit flippant in my replies, it might seem as if I'm making light of my own situation, which I suppose I am, in my own way.

Oh heck!

Sorry phoenix. If there was any justice, you would have the top job now. These people have no idea what a tour de force they would have in their midst, if they would just give you a chance. x

That sucks phoenix sorry.

Love to you! It's horrible when you get rejected, I know! Been there!

I'm sure with your attitude and character you will succeed!

If you know we are all feeling pissed off for you, will it lighten the burden of pissed-off-ness? If not, your various cats should help - it's a known fact that stroking a cat relieves stress. (blimey, I typed 'striking' - good job I noticed!)

Sent you a message, P xx

Still have your hair done, though. It's their loss.

I don't have any neighbours, phoenix so if it's any help I'll go outside and scream obscenities on your behalf.

Keep your chin up and don't let the b*****ds grind you down.

jingl I wish you weren't feeling crap too....
Double

All I can suggest is to give Digby a big stroke and tell him all about it. He'll understand.

I don't understand about the poultry farmers and the little vent.

I can't cheer you up. Sorry.

I just wondered about the poultry farmers....................

never mind.

#feelingcraptoo

So sorry, phoenix.

$%! !!!!
Love to you too P

So sorry to hear this. The vital thing is not to interpret it as a personal rejection - hard I know, but very important. Missing out on a job is not evidence of personal failure, but simply shows that there was just one other person who fitted their bill. You did so well to get so far, so I send congratulations for that.

Be pissed off now and take a deep breath and plough on with all our good wishes.

Only natural when things were looking positive, its good to let vent.
