Why I hate some people

Now this is a New Year and it’s off to the same start as last year. Man this is not looking up at all. Well other than the other night that is. Well I have been really out of work since last March. I had gotten on with a bad company and they had no clue as to what they were doing. My field is very small so there are not that many jobs in the position that I am going for. So I have had 10 months of interviews and sending out my resumes to companies. So at the begging of December I get 3 interviews for companies that I would love to work for. Two are in my field and what I want to do and one is with a company I would want to work for. Two are in California and one is in Boston. Now at this point in my search I am going through the motions. I try to put my heart into it and I just can’t do it anymore. I fly out to Boston for one job and it goes very well. I just don’t know if I would want to move to Boston for a job. But when I get there I love it. It’s so different then California and I loved it. That was on Monday, I was back in California on Tuesday night and I had another interview on Wednesday. That when great. It was a phone interview and I hate phone interviews since you can’t judge the person on line body language. Oh Thursday I had another interview and this was going to be the third interview with this company and this is the one I really really wanted. I go in there early and I am ready I have my interview down pat. This week has been on long interview so at this point I know just want to say. Lets just say I nail that interview but more on that later in this story. So the next week starts and I am for sure I didn’t get the Boston job. Not for anything I did but more from the fact that another studio closed down right before I went to Boston for my interview. So they went with someone that was closer and didn’t want to pay to move me out to Boston. This I can understand and when I found out that the other studio was closing I kind of guess that my chances had slimmed a bit on getting this job. Now the job that I had the phone interview calls me back and wants to meet me face to face. Hot damn one door closes another one opens up. I have a face to face interview set up for Friday and I am going to be ready for it. Now it’s Friday and I am getting ready for my interview and I am about an hour from heading to the interview. When I get a phone call. It’s the job that I really really want. They want to hire me and bring me on. HOT damn you can’t believe how happy I now am. After 10 months of looking I have found a good job that I can be proud of. This was on Dec 8th that they called me to tell me I was hired. It is now Jan 4th 4 days shy of a full month since I got the call. I have yet to start my first day. I have been promised a offer letter for the last 3 weeks that will detail all the “perks” of my new job. I have yet to get that letter. I sent them an email about a week ago and what I was told doesn’t make me very happy. I was told that the founder of the company is flying out to close the deal for the project that I was to be hired on to work on. And that they are waiting on closing this deal to bring me on. WHAT the hell? Why the hell didn’t you say you were not even sure you had the project before you wanted to hire me? I don’t even know if I want to work for a company that can’t even hire a person right. I mean damn if I am looking for a job and interviewing with you that must mean I need a job. And if you tell me that I am hired I am ready to start don’t have me waiting around for you to sign a deal. That deal should have been signed before you even placed the ad that you were looking for someone. I am going to fly off the handle about this one. I don’t know what the hell to do anymore.
