On my way back from Austin... Jobless... Sigh
That's a bit of a trip to get a rejection.

Not at all! I went down there to work with them on one of their new shorts. It was an amazing experience and well worth the trip. In the end though they decided to hire someone more local because they could start immediately, but they still loved my talents. Maybe after college there will be another chance.

I knew I shouldn't get my hopes up. Just got the Chile trip taken away from me.

[/quote]They rescheduled it to coincide with some vacation time of mine that I said I didn't want to miss because I'd spent a lot of money on the trip already (Dragon*Con over labor day weekend), so the other controls engineer is going instead. Same thing happened to take away my trips to South Africa, Australia, and the Philippines this year. Instead, I get to go near Vancouver, BC in January 2013! THANKS, ASSHOLE.

In the past 2 years I got slighted out of trips to Costa Rica, Mexico City, and St. Kitts.
These days, I'm happy to have a cup of tea
cold tea

But yeah, I know there are others who know the feel, which is why I was posting it. I've been screwed out of BRBu rendezvous many many times because of this. Even had HeK and Luin take vacation to meet up with me once, and that trip got pulled at the last minute as well. Not cool.

[/quote]3 years ago I believe, I was supposed to be up in Minneapolis for work. I was going to pay for a hotel so you could come down and hang out, HeK scheduled time off, I don't remember if you were working at the time. The week before I was supposed to go, the trip got pulled. One of my coworkers ended up going, like 6 months later when it was finally rescheduled.
