The Wee Democracy

all i ask for is common courtesy

is that so much to ask for? i don't think so. you remember that job interview i went on the other day? well, i was told then that i'd hear from them on monday to schedule a second interview. so monday i got up early, as i did not want to miss their call.

that call did not come. nor did it come tuesday. nor wednesday. i have now assumed (actually i did the bulk of the assuming yesterday) that i will not hear from this company ever again. this is quite rude.

i don't mind not getting the job. sure, i would have liked to have gotten it, and i would have done a good job for them, but, in the end, it was not meant to be. what i do have a problem with is the lack of courtesy, which to me, insinuates a lack of respect. they told me, in no uncertain terms, to wait for a phone call from them, a phone call that never came. i did, and they did not hold up their end of the bargain. i don't care if they called to say, hey, we were really jumping the gun last week, and we're not gonna consider you any further, but they should have called.

just the other day, i was in the grocery store parking lot and a guy was passing in front of the car. when we let him pass, he waved and gave us a nice smile. that TOTALLY made my day, and you know why? because he showed a common courtesy. he went out of his way to do it, too, which, to me, speaks volumes about his manners.

this company did not have the common courtesy to return my effort, and that, too, speaks volumes about them. shame on them. to avoid someone because what you have to say is awkward is not an excuse. it's not acceptable, it's not right. it's rude. plain and simply rude.
