Rejection

Is it wrong to be angry when you are rejected for a job that you would not have taken anyway? The Children's Home just called, and they went with the other candidate. Man, what a slap in the face. I was runner-up. I am better than runner-up. I am a FANTASTIC teacher, so why didn't they want me? I gave a spectacular interview. Grrr..... Talk about a blow to an already fragile ego. Not what I needed right now. Oh well, I can't do anything about it, and dwelling on it will only make my stomach hurt even more. C'est la vie.
