    I'll write this down now, because if I get rejected this Friday I'll probably never finish this. Since Dux so eloquently said he didn't want another Helder (due to my gif use) I decided to incorporate even more gifs.


    Here we go: My team was, for the most part, really negative. I applied what the Core taught me and used that to my advantage. With a big difference this time. I didn't want to blow out anyone's candle to make my shine brighter. No, I wanted to stand out for my positive attitude. Those that fucked it up for us were the most vocal and placed the blame everywhere except on themselves.

    It took a lot of effort to restrain myself.

    It's quite exhausting not going beserk and act positive day in and day out. So I've slept a lot lately.

    I used my time at work to focus on how to transfer our work to the new department. Nobody asked this of me, but I figured it would show good will on my part. I e-mailed the managers but got no response.


    [Blocked Image: http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/gallery/no/646.gif]


    They called a meeting with the entire team and the management. Afterwards they asked two of us to sit in on the next meeting with the people who stayed and had to do our jobs. I jumped at this opportunity and made sure me and my colleague were there. I don't know why but this felt tactically necessary.


    During the first meeting, my team said nothing so I jumped in and basically took over. When they asked how we would transfer our work I mentioned the document I sent before. I brought in my colleague as well (because he's very good and I would need him badly for what was to come). This resulted in him and me being appointed to train everybody. They also asked me to coordinate the entire transition. After the meeting the big boss said she's very happy that we'll be doing this.

    We setup the entire training in 2 days (there's a deadline) and I made sure we could start immediately. We received a lot of praise from the higher ups. My colleague, in a moment of tactical brilliance, proposed that we would make the participants rate our training. The average score was a 9 so when the management got hold of this they were like:

    There wasn't more we could possibly due to shine so we had to wait for the interview which I just came back from. I threw everything at it but the kitchen sink and it's by far the best interview I've ever had. I got a lot of praise during the interview. I really was like:

    Now all this don't mean dick because it could still end badly.

    So this is me for the next couple of days:

    Friday I'll know if I make it to the other round. Which isn't helpful but I hope to find solace in knowing that those who caused this will hopefully be rejected. Because that would mean:

    I would be content with that even if I don't make it because justice would still have been done. My biggest fear is that those fuckers that ruined us get the job. Anyway, I'm relieved now because I gave it my all. It's out of my hands and regardless of how it turns out, I've really done all I can so let me close with this:

    PS: It would be cool if someone could force Dux to get notifications if this gets a reply. Just to annoy him.

    You rock Sprony! If they don't jump at the chance to keep you with that kind of positive and constructive attitude then they don't deserve you!


    Good luck~~

    Wish you best of luck, you clearly shot all your bullets and sounds like you've done an impressive job.

    OT: what's the movie from which the Jeremy Piven's gif is taken from?

    I got a message from my colleague, who I consider the best candidate, he got turned down.


    [Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/HVQHV52.gif]


    Still can't believe he got turned down.


    [Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/KyiNFoJ.gif]


    I was like this for minutes:


    [Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/SHzniTH.gif]


    Then more messages came in. The 4 that ruined it for us (and are the cause of our predicament) are all turned down.


    [Blocked Image: https://i.imgur.com/A88mhPj.gif]


    There is still justice in the world. I'm very content right now. So to them that fucked us:


    [Blocked Image: http://replygif.net/i/93.gif]


    But more good ones got rejected as well. Which made me worry even more. Because if even the best got turned down, what does that mean for me?


    [Blocked Image: http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nervous.gif]


    So my call came and I totally knew what to expect right from the start. It went like this:


    [Blocked Image: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcfzvttW6R1ry8teo.gif]


    Because guess what? I'm the only one, out of 9, that made it to the next round.

    Don't know what the next round will mean without immediate competition, but this Tuesday I have to go to our main office and meet with the Big Boss.

    But seeing justice done and being the only one selected is a huge compliment so for now guys:
