ordering lunch for delivery (from the restaurant's website) only to see it update 3 times with different 'couriers' and it's now almost 30 minutes past the estimated time for delivery....

Aced a job interview, and now nothing. No phone call to say you suck, no email, nothing. I lost sleep over that interview and I thought I did great. At least call or email and say I didn't get it so I know.

Aw, I hate that. How long ago was the interview? Is there still any chance that maybe they are just taking their sweet time?

It was a scheduled 30 min. phone interview, but went a little over 45 minutes. The lady interviewing me seemed really excited, especially given my references and past work, and I thought I was in. Then nothing.
It's a seasonal position working in the Nordstrom warehouse shipping and receiving with the potential to be a permanent employee after the holidays, and it pays really well. So, I was pumped that the interview went so good. Maybe they are just taking their time, but at least an e-mail would be nice.

aww, yeah it sounds like it went well, interviews going over the time limit usually is a good sign. I feel your pain though, I hate the interviewing process all around... I'm hoping when/if my current role opens up for a permanent position, they will just skip that part since I've been doing the job already for the past 3 months. I'm getting tired of temping. I hope they are just taking their time and that you end up getting it, sounds like it would be great for you.

I feel like I should enable a "dislike" button only for this board. Anyway, for me... how long it takes a data entry department to add a simple new product to our systems at work. Going on exactly a week now, when the request was set as a "rush" as well. Seriously, teach me how to do it and I'll have it done in a few mins! So frustrating.

That "rush" I was talking about in the previous post? Yeah, took 3 weeks. anyway.. today's annoyance = our favorite go-to local Mexican restaurant didn't have chorizo and I wanted to try a crispy chorizo taco. -sigh-

Being told by my boss this morning to work a back order report (which is not part of my daily duties), only to find out a couple hours later, that she had failed to mention this to my counterpart who usually works the report every day. So he was working it as well, which wasted time by us working on the same thing. *sigh*
It ended up being fine, but annoying for me because I was forced to leave a majority of my daily work unfinished at the end of the day

Applying for positions and feeling like I'm not getting them due to my age. I'm only 52, but the hair is going gray somewhat. I can't claim ageism because they never say that's why they won't hire me. They never give me a reason at all for not hiring me, they just never call me back or return my calls. Most places I apply to I'm more than qualified to work at and agreeable to their pay, so I can't think of a lot of other reasons that I'm not being hired. And, I'm a realist, if I know I suck at a particular thing, I don't apply. On the other hand, if it's what I know, I expect to at least have a great interview and serious consideration. Very frustrating.

Earlier this week when I checked the forecast it was suppose to be in the mid 60s yesterday and today.... Well.. it's like 40 now and the rain is moving in. Really needed to get some (more) stuff down outside. I'm being old we're getting a rain/snow mix tomorrow possibly.... I guess I should be grateful the weather has held on this long but dang I really could use another solid weekend.
