They were trying to hire me right before the news hit. They have a lot of nerve. I am dumbfounded. Good thing retaliatory managers have left me without references and I would bomb out of the process for that reason, rather than for a lack of technical ability.

In other news, I have made a string of bad decisions as far as who to work "for." I should do something about that. Perhaps I should let someone (more capable) decide what I do next.

Sometimes its good to have no choice but to follow your dream, all else and all other's (face saving, arrogant) bullshit aside.
