SAD

I did not get the job. The company has reposted the job listing on Monster.com, an obvious indication that they are looking for other applicants for the position.

I can't tell you how much I want to get out of my current work environment. It has become almost intolerable. Many of my coworkers are also unhappy, which creates an atmosphere where dissatisfaction festers and grows. If misery loves company, then it is firmly entrenched in my department at work and I don't see anything changing in the foreseeable future. I was hoping this job opportunity might rescue me from this stressful and unpleasant situation. But I allowed nerves to turn my brain to mush for the first half of my interview and I threw away that opportunity. Had I done my best, not getting the job would be merely disappointing. Having failed to adequately illustrate my ability to handle the job makes losing it a frustratingly crushing blow.
