Just came to vent/have a pity party: I had a screener interview for my dream in-house job on Friday, but had to cancel it last minute because of a fire drill. They said they would get back to me about rescheduling but now I worry I shot myself in the foot and am mad at myself for not setting better boundaries…hoping they are understanding since I’m in BL…

I assume you explained you had a work emergency. I don’t think that is a bad look, you take your work seriously now just as you will when you work there, even if you were trying to leave down the line.

Not the best analogy but think of it like trying to date someone in a relationship - if they aren’t treating their current SO well and cheating with you it’s foolish to think they’ll treat you well.

Agree with C1, you did the right thing, you can't blow off your current employer (esp. in this market) during crunch time for an interview.

They should understand and appreciate that you're willing to put your professional responsibilities above your own personal desires and if they don't, then it's more of a reflection on them than it is you. That said, some people just get really weird about that sort of thing, and if they do, then honestly, they're probably a nightmare to work for, so don't sweat it.

Aw, that's the worst. Hope they understand.
