What the frak, Aims?
Well, he had a meeting with the director of the department yesterday who was VERY hostile and rude. For instance - told Joe that she was being told that he wasn't asking very many questions, but seemed to be taking notes. She then asked to see his notes and when she looked at them and saw his doodles from the longer calls of people ranting (mind you - he was just listening in on these calls - not actually helping someone) she said, "Oh. Nice pictures. I'll bet you learn a lot while you're drawing." She then got pissed off when Joe said, "No, thank you" when they were passng out ice cream sundaes later that day. Joe doesn't eat sweets. Hardly ever.
She also made it a point to tell him that she was NOT a part of the hiring process with him and seemed to be very resentful of that. And also she said that him not overturning everything in his life to make sure he could get down to Ohio for training next week was "unacceptable".
He just got the call that "they feel it's not a good fit."
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.
