Disappointment.
This is not a story written from first person view by me, but it is instead a random blog entry that I wanted to type at this time. Feel free to relate yourself to this entry, if so reply with how you felt and if what you felt was similar to this. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense as to details etc, it was 1:24AM when this blog was published. :/
I awoke that morning feel ecstatic and ready to take on my new job position. My friends had been reassuring me for a couple of weeks that I was definitely going to get this job promotion, some of them even told me they threw in a recommendation or two for me with the higher ups and they knew I was going to get the job. I was positive I met the requirements for this new promotion. I was mature enough for sure; I can take any negative situation and turn it positive, and I can also go as far as taking a hit or two and still walk away without throwing a hit back. I had the perfect schedule for it; I am so organized and the shift fit in perfectly for what I needed to do. I had the reputation fit for it; everyone loves me, I am extremely popular in the office. I dressed in my finest suit I had available at that time in my closet. I combed my hair, and put some gel in it just to make sure it would stay that way. I grabbed my briefcase and walked out to the car, put the keys into the ignition and drove to work. I arrived approximately at seven fourty so I could get a head start into the day. Work does not start until seven fifty-five. The boss man walked in at eight sharp and called everyone into the meeting room; hopefully to announce who all got the promotion. Five of us were selected for the position, but only two were actually going to get it. The anticipation was killing me, even though I was positive I was going to get the job, it was still tremendously enthralling. We all sat silently as the boss man stood up and began to talk about how whoever was selected deserved the job and they did great, although whoever wasn’t should not feel down and can try again another day. He then began to say the words I had been waiting for all day, “Alright, here are the two who are officially promoted: John Frisko and Keith Robertson.” I couldn’t believe what I had just heard, I felt as if I had lost myself from reality and I was watching time go by from the outside of the window of the building. I felt as if my heart stopped immediately, I was thinking surely it was a mistake, surely he meant to say my name, but no, he didn’t. I was sure I was going to faint or something, it felt as if my whole body went numb, as if all the blood flowing just stopped immediately. Everyone began to clap for the two who were promoted and my friends did not even glance at me as if they knew I was not going to be selected for the job. I felt betrayed, I felt dead.
