I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

Amy, I am sorry. You are NOT old or irrelevant; you are smart and savvy. They missed out on a good thing.

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>

My workplace turns out to be the type of workplace that debuts a new website look and feel at 11:15 on a Monday with no advance warning. Who's surprised? Not those of us who already knew that my workplace is the sort of workplace that has a locked door to the admin suite (which includes both HR and the staff copy machine for large jobs), so you have to call on the phone and be buzzed in. (We all wear badges that unlock doors to staff areas in the building. Except this door.)
