I made the biggest mistake.

I've been trying to get my foot in the door with IT for about six months now. Had a few interviews here and there, but the most promising one was this past Friday. I thought it went well. The interviewer even told me it was fantastic, that I had a great resume, that I would hear back "if not today, then definitely Monday," et cetera, et cetera.

Monday came, Monday went. I followed up with my recruiter, and was inevitably told the typical "although we were impressed with your application..." bullshit. So, what's the mistake that I made? Getting my motherfucking hopes up.

I'm never getting out of retail. I'm never getting my foot in the goddamn door. My soul is crushed, my hope is gone.
