Interview! Interview? Interview?? Bueller?

I'd like to thank this organization for reading my blog and then proceeding in such a way as to generate material for a new blog post.  
That's the only logical explanation, so that's what I'm going with...

On Thursday about 10 am I received an email invitation to interview for a job (I had just applied about 5 am, so this was very exciting!).  

Phone interview would be on Tuesday (today) - requested I select time slot from list in the email.

I replied around noon (same day / Thursday) with something along the lines of: thank you for the opportunity to learn more about [Company X] and the position.  I'm available time 1 and time 2.  [etc.]

No reply or confirmation Thursday or Friday.

I emailed them again Monday: Thank you again for your help in scheduling the phone interview for tomorrow. Please confirm the time so that I may adjust my schedule accordingly. If you would please also let me know with whom my interview is scheduled, I will prepare my questions appropriately. [etc.]

No reply Monday, no reply or call today.

You'd think I had contacted them and asked them for an interview. Nope. They did indeed contact me about the interview - complete with a date and time slots.  I went back and re-read it about 10 times to be sure I wasn't making it all up.

Yeah, it's cool. No need to even drop a short email. I can only assume that Company X sees themselves as so high and mighty that as an applicant, I do not even warrant the courtesy of a 'thanks but no thanks' after YOU CONTACTED ME.

I'll just scratch this non-profit off my list of organizations I may wish to work for and add them to the 'WTF is wrong with these people?' list.  

This WTF list is getting kinda long...
