Booooo, Amy! You are not irrelevant.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All my sympathies, Amy. I know how it feels, to be turned down for jobs you know you can do. It's hard, because the market is flooded with applicants, and employers can afford to be ridiculously picky. If they want a left-handed writer with exactly 12.7 years of experience, and green eyes, they can find them.
It's not a slam on your abilities, but on the fact that we're competing with a ton of other equally-qualified people.

As for me, today's the first day of unemployment (again). Overslept and now I'm going to take the dog for a long run. I've been putting on some weight and my jeans are getting tight, and this shit needs to stop.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Amy, I am sorry. You are NOT old or irrelevant; you are smart and savvy. They missed out on a good thing.

That didn't need to be said twice.

Because books.

Eh, maybe they ran the ad looking for somebody really specific.

Often the person doing the hiring already knows who they intend to hire, but put in the ad and do interviews and go through a charade so they have a paper trail for HR>
