I was feeling ambitious so I emailed back the guy who told me my interview was canceled because the position was filled internally. I explained that I had noticed the job posting was still on the site and that my application status was still listed as “in process” so I expressed my interest in continuing with an interview if the position was indeed available. I just checked the status again. Instead of being “closed” like a position at another company was, it simply read “not selected.” Ouch.
The fact that I used to be a big Barenaked Ladies fan, or the fact that this song popped up in iTunes the other day and seriously made me wanna die? I’ve always liked this song, but I guess I never paid much attention to the lyrics until now. And seriously, this pretty much sums up how things went for me, so I present to you my definitive Break up Song 2010, even though pretty much all songs are about break ups.
Words & Music by Steven Page
The bravest thing I’ve ever done
Was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time
And the weakest thing I’ve ever done
Was to stay right by your side
Just like this time, and every time
I couldn’t tell you I was happy when you were gone
So I lied and said that I missed you when we were apart.
I couldn’t tell you, so I had to lead you on
But I didn’t mean to break your heart.
And if I always seem distracted
Like my mind is somewhere else,
That’s because it’s true
Yes it’s true
it’s this stupid pride that makes me feel
Like I have to follow through
Even half-assedly, loving you
Why must I always speak in terms of cowardice?
When I guess I should have just come out and told you right from the start
Why must I always tell you what I want is this?
I guess cause I wouldn’t want to break your heart
And you said;
“What’d you think that I was gonna do,
Curl up and die just because of you?
I’m not that weak, you know
What’d you think that I was gonna do,
Try to make you love me as much as I love you?
how could you be so low?
You arrogant man,
What do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine
Just stop wasting my time”
And now I’m over you, I’ll be ok
And that i’ve got what I want
And that’s rid of you
Bye
And it’s not cause I’ll be missing you
That makes me fall apart
it’s just that I didn’t mean to break
No, I didn’t mean to break
No, I didn’t mean to break
Your heart
Your heart
This afternoon, I come to share the news that honorary Sad Sigh writer Morrissey collapsed and was taken to the hospital, causes unknown.
Speculation abounds! What could have toppled the former Smith’s lead singer, responsible for lyrics such as “I’ve a shyness that is criminally vulgar” and “life is a pigsty” and “life has killed me”?
Grace: Do you think sorrow brought him down?
Kristin: I think he collapsed under the weight of his own tears.
That’s right! We know what made Morrissey collapse! And let this be a lesson to you all as well. Sadness has its price! IT HAS ITS PRICE.
I know this because I left a glass with a tiny bit of white wine on my coffee table last night, and when I went to put it in the sink I looked down and saw 4 dead moths in it.
