They must have made a mistake.
I’ve gotten rejected, twice, by companies I positively never applied to. Nor were they any subsidiaries or whatever of other companies.
Then again, one time I’ve also gotten a rejection mere hours after applying.
Also notable: This one time last year when I e-mailed my application and received a very official rejection letter a few weeks later… by snail mail. Signed by the CEO himself. Not sure if that’s supposed to be a badge of honor or something.
They really wanted to send you a message by rejecting you as hard as possible.
The fifteen-year one seems to be the fault of some excruciatingly long-lived automated system. The six-month one was apparently just the molasses pace of east-coast defense contractors.
For the movie Into great silence, the director contacted the monastery to propose the idea for a movie about the monks in 1984. They said they needed to think about it.
In 1996 they called him back saying that they were willing to do it!
I think I should warn you, it’s a 3h documentary about monks who committed to a vow of silence. There is no voiceover and no extra music, only the sounds recorded in the monastery.
So as the title said the movie is mostly … silent.
It’s an experience, a bit hard to get into but I think it’s the best way to experience and understand what their life is like.
I don’t know how to describe it but at one point there is a monk cutting a thick wool fabric and the just the sound of the scissors cutting through is memorable.
Yes. I did tell them to pound sand since I already had a job at that point, though sometimes I do wonder where my life might have gone had I gone into aerospace instead of <redacted> back then.
Hell i get replies two weeks into the next job
I got one six months into the next job
Another, I got a reply fifteen years later

Confirmed! Had to.

Now I want to watch this documentary. Thanks for the perhaps unwilling indirect suggestion.

Thanks!
I’m into meditation, though. Being hours in silence is my thing. Thus my wanting to check out this movie.
I hope they at least had the decency to ask if you were still interested so you could tell them to stick it
