I Hoard Rejection Letters

I just woke up to two rejection letters in my mailbox to add to the ones I already have. I even print out the rejection emails. I might frame the one from K&E.

Does anyone else have weird rituals for coping with rejection?

ETA: Maybe this is more appropriate in the lounge?

It was an email post-CB.

As for the paper law school... WOW :D I can't even... Too bad I'm not good at crafts, because otherwise I'd make one of these :D

Dings after callbacks hurt the most :(. Especially when you think you did an awesome job and you fit in perfectly.

Still waiting to hear from my first call back, so I haven't had this joy yet. Each day that goes by, I die a little inside. I've had 6 screeners (one CB, one ding) since last Monday, so I'm hoping to have the chance to be rejected at a few CBs in the coming days

I have a pile on my desk that I'm just saving for no particular reason. I guess motivation?

I keep them. I even have my UG, grad school, and law school rejection letters. They're in a file in my filing cabinet. I'm hoping that in 30 years I can lean back in my creaky leather chair, kick my feet up by the fire, and read them aloud while smoking a pipe and chuckling to myself.

*just realized that I hope to retire as a hobbit.

I keep mine in a pretty heft three ring binder.

One day, and I'll know when the time is right, that thing is going to go into a bonfire. I am going to partially char some meat with fire fed by my former sorrow. It will taste delicious :-).

All you need is hairy feet.

That's actually already pretty covered.
