Confession

So, my blogs about San Diego hating me may have been a bit premature. Although I can't be faulted for my response, at least not in my humble opinion.

I did hear through the grapevine that San Diego had sent out invites on Friday 10/7 to take the written test, which was confirmed by the Department's employment website. It essentially reported that invites to test had been sent out and if you didn't receive one, thanks but no thanks.

I checked my email so many times that Friday that I'm surprised my phone didn't start cussing me out. Every time my inbox was empty. It was a long weekend and I had Monday off of work. Plenty of time to mope around all weekend- which I did fantastically. A Facebook post and two blog posts later, I was sufficiently complained out.

What I did not expect was to open my work email only to have an invitation to test staring at me. Wow. Now I feel like an ass.

Apparently, even though I input my personal email about a million times with the intention of having any correspondence available on my phone, the employment website the city uses had my work email as my "registered email" thereby overriding my personal email.

So, as much as it pains me to say, I was wrong. And, although I hate admitting that, there's nothing I'd rather have been wrong about than this. So, thank you San Diego for at least pretending to give this fat, old lady a chance. I'll see you Thursday. Best of luck to all the candidates. Aww, who am I kidding? Everyone out of my way- I've got something to prove to myself. ;-)
