This last rejection hit me really hard. I'm trying to figure out why, and all I can come up with is that I've been working here really hard to try and "prove myself." And from all accounts it is working. However, I'm in this nasty Catch-22. This firm knows I sat for the Bar in July. I may pass it come November. Therefore they believe I wouldn't want to stay here. There's one too many assumptions in that argument. I could possibly not pass the Bar come November. I do want to stay here. And even if I do pass the Bar, it's not like you get a job offer with the pass letter. There's a time lag there that needs to be accounted for. If the new posting here is a good one paying a good wage, I'd want to stay at least for a while. But instead I'm still a temp, and will remain a temp for the immediate future. This pseudo status is baffling, and really never seems to get any better. But at least I'm making money, since I'm definitely not feeding my soul.
