I'm such an idiot.

Emailed my cv to recruitment consultant, called Laura, only to start the email "Dear Lucy"...

Now what? She replied to say she would get back to me today, she hasn't (and if I were her and busy, would I bother with someone who can't even get her name right? No), so do I brazen it out, or forget it?

I'm never going to amount to much again. Its so depressing.

'Tis too frightening. A few years ago I would have just ballsed it out and not worried, whereas it seems like the end of the earth now

She's a recruitment consultant so she should be on your side. And IME RCs have the hide of a rhino. She has jobs that need filling and can't afford to be precious about someone getting her name wrong.

Thanks. Those were the words I needed to hear! If she doesn't call today I will just have to be brave and face it head on tomorrow by calling her.

I'm such an idiot.
