I am reminiscing about losing a job on a thank you note that I sent to the employer. I checked my old yahoo email and the hiring manager showing me the bad thank you note is still there. I then remembered this thread:

Here's the original thank you note:

Crazy how time flies. It's going to be ten years since I received the email on April 19. A lot changed since I wrote that thank you note. I had low self esteem back then, but I have matured quite a bit. I'm doing quite well for myself. I got married to a beautiful woman and ended up becoming a lawyer after a few years. I think I needed to hit rock bottom before I could have picked myself up.

Nice! Yeah, time seems to be especially flying for me. I'll look at YouTube and see comments from 17 years ago like wtf, where did the time go.

Lol, that Bioshock gif still on the first page of that thread

fuck, 10 years ago was 2013. seeing the date on that thread shocked me. i mean i know it's obvious that it was 10 years ago but 2013 doesn't feel like it was the long ago but a whole decade has gone by.

You got the glow-up! Congrats!

Its only fitting, happy 10th BioShock Infinite (the best BioShock game).

Ten years later and it got a reaction from me!

10 years ago, I was a 16 year old in high school and was lurking on GAF without an account. I still remember everything so clearly. That was also the year of the whole Xbox One fiasco lol

I totally agree that it doesn't feel like a decade ago at all. Time seems to fly by faster the older you get.

I read your ten year old note. Yikes! English is your first language?

Was a particularly shit year for me, managed to stick the landing though and went into 2014 strong.

Were you in law school at this time?

EDIT - Nevermind I read the rest of the post. Glad to see you have persevered through that tough time in your life.
