    Rejection letters

    Never had one before, had 3 this week.

    I wasn't going to attend the last interview as it was a 250 mile round trip but the agent rang and convinced me I was 'head and shoulders' above the other candidates so I caved in and went, I thought I'd get it to be honest.

    I had a 100% interview to offer ratio before this month, starting to feel like Yosser Hughes.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              Dear Sir,

              I have received many rejection letters over the years and having just received yours I felt compelled to write and complain.

              It is completely unsatisfactory. It is of such poor quality that I am actually offended.

              I refuse to accept it.

              Yours faithfully,

              GJ.

                The guy who interviewed me on Wednesday let slip he was ex army, having worked with ex squaddies before I know they look after their own so I guess an old buddy got the job.

                Well that's what I choose to believe as it makes me feel like less of a failure.

                    Mangotsfield so very similar.

                    I'd probably take a contract in Afghanistan at the moment.
