Today, someone I used to know got in touch with me, after I hadn't heard from him in years. He insisted that we met up as soon as possible, and wanted me to go to his house that afternoon. I spent the afternoon repairing his computer. Since then, no news. FML

Today, my mom and I were watching this movie in which some girls start making out. My mother calls them "sinners" and that they will "burn in hell twice". Then she says "God doesn't like gays". I'm a lesbian. I picked out this movie as a way of coming out. FML

Give her a chance to explain. She might have let slip you two were involved and the company said no to nepotism.

she has to be fair but it is worth talking to her. she can't block your career and ten minutes seems suspiciously short. she should have a good work related reason for rejecting you

Some companies use filtering software to filter out resumes that don't meet their criteria. Maybe OP's resume ran into one of those.

I hope she doesn’t reject your requests for other kinds of ‘jobs, if you know what I mean *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* You do know what I mean, right? If you don’t, message me and I’ll explain — it’s hilarious!

At many companies I’ve worked for it is ok to date and be married to people in other departments as long as there is not chain of command issues, such as being married to your boss. These rules are normally more strict for HR though due to their unique positions/roles, they aren’t generally allowed to date employees or have immediate family at the company.
