I Wasted A Day With Email

I received an email today from a woman in California in which she was deeply sorry that I would not be interviewing for their position. I spent a good portion of my afternoon going over the email to try and figure out what position she was talking about.

Needless to say, I couldn't find it.

Said woman then spends the rest of my afternoon trying to explain the position to me and how some of my qualifications met their requirements but not others. I eventually had to forego the entire conversation because she was bugging me. Lady, I don't care that I'm not getting the position. You are one of thousands of employers that tell me the same thing daily. What I care about it that I didn't apply for the position and, therefore, don't require an email telling me that I fail in the job hunting department.

In writing updates, I've finished the brief polish on my last Dragon's Jewel chapter and am about two pages into the Call My Name chapter. Depending on how much classwork I finish for my copy editing courses, I may finish it by Thursday, If not, it'll be posted by next Thursday.
