Close is only counts when playing in horse shoes

Well, I was called by Union Pacific. I was told I had a great interview but that I was a very close second choice. The job was given to someone else. In a way I was somewhat flattered to come in 2nd place. However, that still leaves me without a job. I was also encouraged to apply again at UP. So I got back online and applied for the same job but in another department. The opening had just been posted the day before. Lucky me.
