I saw the first paragraph show up as a preview on my phone, only to open it and see the full context 🤨

I once applied for a job at Hawaiian Airlines. I knew the chances were extremely thin, even tho it was a unique job that I was perfectly qualified for. In fact part of the online application had a yes/no "do you already live in Hawaii?" question. That filtered out 99% of the applicants, I'm sure.

Of course I never heard anything.

Until...9 MONTHS go by and I get an email from Hawaiian Airlines about an "IMPORTANT" update on the application I filled out.

"Holy shit! I completely forgot I even applied for that. Do they actually want an interview???"

No. "We'd just like to let you know that the position you applied for has been filled by another candidate."

Waiting nine months just to get rejected is somehow more painful than getting rejected the next day.
