Lost a job offer because the hiring manager called me at 8:30PM

Kind of just a quick vent. I earned my degree back in 2019, then fooled around working at "easier" lower-level retail jobs for about a year, because after coming out of management/school/dealing with my husband's cancer, I was tired. I felt ready to go back into management,,,,right around the start of the pandemic, and my job search is going about as well as one would expect.

I've been conducting two simultaneous job searches, one for a stable lower-paying job that is more short-term, and one for a higher-paying, more permanent, job. Scored the stable lower-paying job a week ago, and was pretty comfortable (read: secure) at that point. Was hanging out with some friends a few days ago, drinking, watching a movie, and I get a phone-call at 8:30 at night. Annoyed, I rejected the call. I get a second call, and I reject again. Days have passed, and it's only on Sunday night that I (stupidly) check my voicemail, and see the call is from a hiring manager at one of the higher-paying jobs I've been waiting for.

Called him back (7 day work week there), and they have already hired their chosen candidate. Ultimately, it's my fault for not checking my voicemail sooner....but it's a) the holiday/weekend, and b) who calls for an interview at 8:30 at night?? So frustrated right now - that job was everything I want/need right now >:C

edit: Hiring manager called for an interview, not a job offer per se, so my title is a little wrong...
