            <description>The internet’s finest support group for the overworked, the underappreciated, and the dangerously caffeinated. Think therapy, but cheaper, louder, and fueled entirely by coffee and questionable life choices. ☕💻</description>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Rejection letter on New Year's Day!<br /><br />Guess I shouldn't have expected anything less from the management company that supposedly provides "Royal Service". <br /><br />I applied as a lark on Dec 30th, knowing full well they wouldn't give me the time of day. Especially after the way they reacted to my presence at the last networking event. Nervous, jerky, yet assuring me to keep applying, while trying to get out of the conversation as quickly as possible, even though no one was waiting at their booth. <br /><br />They proved me right! They "say" I'm not red-flagged, but I know that maybe digitally I'm not cause they have no legal reasons, but in their minds... Yeah. And that's OK,because they are red-flagged in my mind too.<br /><br />I just wanted to prove to myself what I already was pretty certain of. They aren't worth my time, nor worthy of my experience, but that experience is something they don't want. Too much knowledge, I might ask questions. I might have opinions contrary to theirs. They know their flavor of corporate kool-aid isn't one I would swallow quietly.<br /><br />The only good thing is that I found an article posted by one of the RDs that is actually decently written.</p>]]></content:encoded>
