Random dose of hatred

As I'm sure everyone knows (because I'm such a huge commodity to this community) I recently moved from Lewisville, Texas. I moved back home to Greenville, SC because my living situation was about to get unsituated. Anyway, I moved in with my best friend, basically my brother, so that's good. However, my moving here was depending upon me getting a job asap as I had a job in Texas, not a great one, but it paid the bills. My buddy's brother works for a gas station chain and said he could get me on there. Then I hear through the grapevine that the question was asked if I would be interested in management (I was assistant manager at another gas station chain a few years back). Needless to say I was stoked because everything was coming together for my move back home.

Fast forward to when I get here. I drove from Lewisville to South Carolina (it took me 15 hours) in one day. The boss of the gas station wanted to see me the day I get back, so of course, I oblige. This certain company has had problems with dishonest people. Anyone that knows me knows that I am honest to a fault. So I hitch a ride with my buddy to the store since I didn't know exactly where it was at. I get there, tell the guy about my experience and everything. I'm there for about 15 minutes, the boss didn't have any questions for me so I assumed it went well. First off, I had a formal interview scheduled for two days later and I was told this initial meeting was to get some paperwork started. I didn't hear anything about the second interview.

A couple of days ago i hear the boss went crazy about me wearing a hat and my attire for the interview. HELLO, I drove 15 hours in one day. I started driving at 3 am that morning. I had been up since 10 pm the previous night. It wasn't even supposed to be a real interview. You're the one who wanted to see me so bad that it couldn't wait for me to get fresh clothe and a fresh haircut and now you're wanting to hold that against me. Then I hear tonight that the boss had hired 2 new people. WTF don't tell me I have a job then when I get here you don't tell me anything. I have to hear it from the assistant manager's brother. Enjoy the two people you hired. This is gonna sound spiteful (believe me, I'm pissed but I'm not wishing you ill will) but enjoy the two new people you hired because based on your hiring history they're gonna get fired for stealing stuff. I'm gonna laugh. It's gonna be hilarious. One day when I'm successful, and it's gonna happen, I'll come by and laugh because you just missed out on a great employee because I was wearing a hat after a 15 hour, thousand mile drive. The thing is I'm not really that mad at not getting the job just about how it went down. I'm gonna remember every one of these guys who never gave me a shot and become successful in spite of it. I'm not gonna let these guys stand in my way. Just because I don't fit your style doesn't mean I have a terrible work ethic. Just because you think I'm not worth a lot doesn't mean I don't have any value. I've been fighting this since I was 10 and I'm tired of you bastards who try to make me feel worthless and less than human. I'm gonna be successful one day and I'm gonna come back and thank every person that said I wasn't good enough because without you I wouldn't be able to be where I'm going to be.
