Nope
I didn't get the job. I really thought it was mine for the taking, but they hired someone else. This person is "a year away from a computer science degree." I read that as "younger." Also, somebody taking an entry-level job who is, indeed, entry level, while at the same time having more SQL experience than I do.
Does this sound bitter? I don't mean it to, really. Them's the breaks. The hiring manager was very positive and encouraging and "it's a shame we only have one opening, we'll keep your resume handy, we're a growing company." The job was in a sales department, so he spread it pretty thick :) Still, it's nice that he made the effort.
Some sour grapes: it REALLY wasn't enough money.
Finally, some self-berating: now, it REALLY sucks that I blew the hospital interview. It sucks REALLY bad. Grrr.

Sorry. It could be my fault; I accidently uncrossed my fingers when I fell asleep the past few nights. Well -- I'm still impressed. You interview for cool jobs.
Aw, Ann, that just plain sucks. And you do interview for cool jobs.
Why are we always job hunting at the same time? One of us needs to get a job so the other one can get hired too. It's a universal balance thing.
