Feelings update
After much discussing it with my husband, we decided on a final version of the email I would send the HRM’s manager about the HRM’s performance during our interactions. We decided I would not mention anything about why I didn’t take the offer, or anything about me accepting blame for the “surprise factor” they experienced. I left all that stuff out. I simply put a nice email together praising the guy and saying it was a pleasure to work with him through the process.
Almost immediately after I sent it, I felt a huge sense of relief. I don’t know why exactly, but I felt I had done a good thing, and that there was really nothing I could do about how they felt about me rejecting the offer. After all, they knew I was “passively looking”… I never said I was “NOT looking.” Anyways, it’s all in the past, and they are either going to have to get over it, or they are going to have to get over it.
Back to being happy about the future!
Now, I have 3 weeks before my new job. I wanted to get all “into” it, so I went and bought myself a few interesting books to get myself “in the mood” 🙂
So exciting! I can’t wait to get them and start reading up! I’m also excited about getting a pretty notebook to write all my notes in.
Yes, I love books, pretty notebooks, stationery, and pens. Barnes & Noble is my Mecca, and Staples is my Heaven.
