It's been pretty awful, sadly. As Neil Gaiman says, "Events are cowards. They come in packs." It's been one blow after another all week, and I don't think I can handle any more bad news.

We don't have r/Random_Acts_of_Pizza but can I get you some food you like tonight if you're in the US?

That's incredibly sweet of you, alas I am in Canada and also would feel guilty because I don't know how to accept gifts or kindness lol

You deserve both gifts and kindness. I snooped through your profile, are you still in the running for or did you get the job? I also have agoraphobia so I'm super proud of you for going to at least the two rounds :)

I just got my rejection email for the job at the beginning of the week. Thank you, by the way! I'm proud of myself too for getting through several rounds of interviews despite my brain screaming to not step outside. I'll try again when they do another hiring round in November, I suppose. Maybe I'll get lucky the second try?
