People just don't care-a sad thought to have, but in my opinion I think it is why things just don't work.  I've got this OCD about checking my e-mail(s) for responses to not only job bids, but results from tests that I've taken.  So far, I've not yet heard from the City about a test I took on 2/19/13-usual and customary wait for test results is 2 weeks and I've sent two e-mails to the recruiter and still no response.  Called her office and was told she was out of the office for lunch and would not return until two, would I like to leave a voice-mail to which I said 'no' because I'd already reached out to her twice and still no response.  Was told she was out of the office all last week...STOP....this is where things make no sense...if someone is out of the office, no one is there to maintain a continuity of work?  Of course not-job cuts, budget cuts, this is a county operation-not to be confused with one that operates in the best interest(s) of anyone.  That's my spin. I'm stuck to it until   I'm proven wrong.  I was asked if I'd like to leave my name and a call back, which I did.  
I have long junked any thought that I could be an asset to any operation, my ego has been shredded and any sense of self-worth has been destroyed by this process. I had applied nearly 3 months ago for a call center job with my former employer (the wireless branch) and was just notified today that while I possess remarkable qualifications, they were moving forward with the process, thank you very much, please browse our website for available jobs we're sure you are qualified for.  WTF?  It is obviously not my time and given my faith (which is sorely being tested) only God knows.
