Damn. That's cold. Sports Fan got the same deal with a law firm (that I ended up working for, ouch!) and they were just stringing him along until some one else (me!) decided. Totally sucks. My Grandmother is actually a pioneer of camouflage drinks for transport. Manhattans in Snapple bottles. True story. I will gladly carry on her legacy with Target Wine Boxes.

I can relate... I always seem to get rejection emails after I've gone on face-to-face interviews. From time to time, they're adressed: Dear , ...which is pretty insulting. At my current job, HR held my offer letter on their desk for a month and then insisted that I only give one week's notice (not that I cared) because they really, really needed me to start right then. I assume this was HR covering themselves against rage from the VP. Best of luck with the search! Feel your pain.

Wine boxes for grown ups!!! AWESOME. If I bought those I'd have to make absolutely SURE that I didn't confuse them my sons real juice boxes because that would be bad. And BOO! to those people. They suck! Kristies last blog post..Happy Monday. Please enjoy a few pictures.

OMFG, I HATE THAT. A couple of years ago, I was interviewing for a job and got a call back that I was cleared for a second interview, yay! And that I'd hear from them the following week, yay! And when I didn't hear from them for three weeks, despite repeated phone calls, much like you did, I finally reached the HR director (SAME) live, where she appeared totally puzzled that I was even calling about that job, because they filled it last week! And who was I again? I was fucking FUMING. Because who does that? Who calls someone back to give them good news and TOTALLY FORGETS ABOUT THEM, even to let them down gently? And since it was for a major real estate developer who is now suffering mightily, I believe I got the last laugh. You will too. Also, one of the biggest things I miss about Florida -- well, assuming I wasn't pregnant and vomiting at the mere SMELL of wine, and I'm not kidding, I HATE THE SMELL, WHO AM I? -- is Target's wine cubes and drink boxes. Damn, I miss that place and their cheap, cheap alcohol. jonnikers last blog post..Coal Miner’s Daughter

And my love for Target grows. I didn’t know that was possible. I’ve had their boxed wine, but will have to investigate this onesie juice box option.

The company that sent the letter instead of calling = suckage. As others said above, you’re definitely better off without them; at least in my experience, any chicken moves in the interview process guarantees a terrible employer. Your anger is completely understandable.

Pfffft. That’s pathetic. The cop out, not the box wine.

Wine in any shaped container is great. Mostly in the container of ma belly.

You should have sent the company a note like in 5th grade:

Did you like me. Circle one. YES NO MAYBE

Will you call me back someday? Circle one. YES NO HELL NO

Perhaps the idea of a straw and sipping wine in the car isn't such a good idea, especially if some moron decided it was OK to drink and drive. Sires last blog post..So, Have You Been Stumbled Or Not?
