Spent the weekend sulking. Didn't have enough ice cream in the house to do it properly, but I gave it a go. Got a rejection letter Friday from the company I thought probably most closely synched up with the skills gained at my former employer. It was polite: a "we don't think any of our openings match up with your skillset right now," which is palliative until you realize that they have 406 openings right now in Northern Virginia. So what they really meant was, "We don't like you." Which hurts. I'm smart. I'm a really hard worker. I have all sorts of mad skillz, including the ability to spell "skills" appropriately in context.

But I think everything happens for a reason, so I'm hopeful that it's so that I get hooked up with The Right Company and not just another place to work. Noticed ThinkGeek is hiring and threw them the resume. I'd *love* to work with them, but so would half the D.C. area, I'm sure. *crosses fingers*

So... anybody know of a job opening in Northern Virginia where I would fit well? Resume here, just in case.
