Hi Everybody,

MRI in Kansas City, MO has informed me that I didn't get the Aerosol 
Engineering Section Manager position.  MRI did not call or write a letter of 
rejection themselves.  Instead, probably as a result of some e-mails and 
telephone messages I'd left with my contacts at MRI after a month of 
silence, they sent the message via the original recruiter who put me in 
contact with MRI last December.  The recruiter left me a telephone message 
today, which I listened to after a day of substitute teaching.  The message 
was short, completely generic, and gave no details regarding why I was not 
selected.

It seems if I hadn't kept pestering MRI, they weren't even going to let me 
know one way or the other what had happened.  Boy, the rules of the game 
have certainly gotten rude and crude since the 1st time I graduated college 
back in 1976.

Oh well, back to square one on job searching.

Sigh, I hope everyone had a better day than I did. :-(

Roger Pihlaja
