In the previous post I mentioned a job with Dan. I e-mailed my CV, I suffered through the meeting with Helen, and I made sure everything was in order. I was probably the first one who applied seeing as I jumped on it within 5 minutes of reading the e-mail. As I said, I knew that there was still a good chance that I wouldn't get the job, but I had a chance, right? Wrong. I never heard back from the Department. I never heard from Dan. They never mentioned the job search again. Then, about 6 months later he hires another guy from my experiment. Who also had an unpublishable thesis, thank you very much, Helen. I'm not saying that I wouldn't hire that other guy over me. He is very talented and I am pretty sure he isn't nutter butters like me. Still. How can someone who worked with you for 3 years not so much as acknowledge you. This is when I knew it was over. Dan, one day you will go through something major, and it will affect your work adversely. Maybe you will even get fired. I hope when that happens you remember me.
