Chasing the Blues

So, earlier this week I received two emails and a phone call from an up-scale grocery company moving into Wichita. Among the jobs listed was a position for "Coffee and Candy Specialist." Wow, I thought! They've contacted me three times, they must Really want me to apply, and this sounds like something which, if not my dream job, is certainly on the way to it! So I applied, and...they chose someone else. And didn't even give a reason (last night I dreamt I missed a page in their letter and they gave me several good, face-saving reasons. but the reality is that they didn't.) I was going to email them back and ask for a reason, just to know what I could do differently in the future, what kind of experience they'd like, etc, but the email was a "no-response" deal, and...that's that, I suppose. Was really bummed out. Still kind of am.
However, last night, Daniel introduced me to the comedy of Eddie Izzard, which induced alot of laughter. In case you, too, are having a less-than-stellar week, please feel free to use these to lighten your mood :) Warning: they contain cussing, possibly alot. But...pretty funny anyway. The two clips are "Covered in Bees" and "Evil Giraffe." (If the links don't work for any reason, just look up "Eddie Izzard Covered in Bees" and "Eddie Izzard Evil Giraffe" on YouTube.)
