Due to a technicality, I am not getting one of the permanent positions at work.

I thought I had successfully jumped through all the required flaming hoops, but it turns out I singed myself on the last one without realizing it.

To add insult to injury, the HR person told me to keep up the good work because she "hear[s] good things about [me]."

*resists urge to throttle*

There are many, many impolite words running through my mind right now, none of which I shall share with the Internets at large.

It was a technicality, which I figured would be what would eliminate me from consideration, if it came to that.

Whatever. I'm past the point of mustering energy to care overly much about this.

WHAT?!? I GRRR on your behalf! I'm REALLY sorry, lady! :(

I'm sorry too. Oh well. Other posts will open up in a few years. I was just hoping not to have to wait 10 years to get a permanency here.

That totally sucks! I'm really sorry you didn't get one of the positions that you entirely deserved!

Unfortunately, "deserving" has very little to do with the bureaucratic process. But thank you!

Have you at least learned how to avoid that particular pitfall next time?

Yup. Spoke to the HR person and she steered me in the right direction. Now all I have to do is wait another five years or so for more positions to open up...

I was pretty optimistic about this, but I also was acutely conscious of the fact that, if I didn't make it through the process, it would be because I got eliminated right at the beginning due to a technicality, and that's exactly what happened.

Grrrr! Frustrating, forshure!

WTF? That serious sucks. How GD blood frustrating!

Yeah, I'm pretty frustrated. Nothing major, because I can't really muster the energy for it right now, but a little frustrated. It's just that, after nearly four years of watching the RCMP bureaucratic machine in motion, I am really not surprised that I got shafted in this process.

Next time, I guess. It'll only be another four or five years before positions open up, after all...

So this is why the good people never seem to get the good jobs! Where bureaucracy is involved, I'm not surprised. But I am really really sorry.

That REALLY sucks, but you kick ass. Maybe positions will open up sooner, and you know now how to avoid said technicality.

Whaaaaaaat? That just SUCKS. With all of the jumping around that you do for them? I mean, holy crap. That's just vile. :(

We talked about this, but it STILL SUCKS!
