Come on Geoff, we all know I'm not getting that job.

So what if they already identified me as the ideal candidate in the past? So what if hiring me last time was what planted the seed they should increase the responsibilities to an IT exec instead of an IT manager? So what if JD used my background to explain to the recruiter what they're looking for? Just because a position was created because of me specifically, my exact experience is what they used as a template to inform the recruiter of what they are looking for, and I happen to be sitting around tanned, rested, and ready to start does not mean I have more than a .000001% chance at this job. This is not how the universe works in Mike's 2026. I kind of hope they aren't willing to consider me. After the last job, I've decided it's about the last kind of role I want. Things are pretty peachy with the project income at the moment. I spent all day yesterday torn up deciding whether I'd even want it. I'd probably hate my life, but would also have leverage in the MLM power struggle.
