Best ever silver lining

So I had found this job that I was planning on applying for, posted yesterday. Well, today the career services office sent it around to the entire job-seekers network. I was bummed because that means I don't have the exclusive line on this job. Rats.

When I lamented my bad luck (and the good work of the career services people), this is what my friend said: "Well, consider the competition good news --- the more people they see, the more they’re gonna realize how much better YOU are than everyone else!"

My friend is just. the. very. best.
