Need help with SQL Query (query for certain IDs in a table and then IDs not in result set)

Question

OK. This is hard to explain but that may be my problem in constructing the query.
I have a table that has a list of jobs. The jobs information in this table, among other things, is a short description of the job itself (think "title" in phrase form), date, and ID.
So I can query the table to get all the jobs for a particular grouping of IDs (the only ones I am interested in) that ran successfully for a given time period. But what I want are all the jobs that did not succeed (or therefore are not present in the table) for this group of jobs and for a certain date range. But these are not the only job id's in the table.
To get the successful ones I do the following:
SELECT id,short_desc FROM my_table where
            id IN('1230', '1231', '1232', '1239', '1244', '1245',
            '1246', '1247', '1248', '1272', '1280', '1281', '1282',
            '1283', '1284', '1285', '1286', '1249', '1250', '1251',
            '1252', '1253', '1255', '1233', '1234', '1235', '1236',
            '1237', '1238', '1256', '1257','1258', '1254', '1290','1310')
            AND the_date > = SYSDATE - 23/24
            AND to_char(the_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY') = TO_CHAR(CURRENT_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
I have tried to use another AND clause with NOT IN and the group or NOT EXISTS but that doesn't work as there are other jobs captured in this table with id's of course. I am only concerned with these id's:
IN('1230', '1231', '1232', '1239', '1244', '1245',
            '1246', '1247', '1248', '1272', '1280', '1281', '1282',
            '1283', '1284', '1285', '1286', '1249', '1250', '1251',
            '1252', '1253', '1255', '1233', '1234', '1235', '1236',
            '1237', '1238', '1256', '1257','1258', '1254', '1290','1310')
Someone said to use a temp table. I don't think I have permission and I haven't tried as I want to do this in one query if possible.
After thinking about this I am at a loss. I tried to do this in the front end but it just became too messy.

You do not need a physical temp table. You need an in-line view:
WITH list as (
              SELECT '1230' id FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1231' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1232' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1239' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1244' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1245' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1246' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1247' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1248' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1272' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1280' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1281' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1282' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1283' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1284' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1285' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1286' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1249' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1250' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1251' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1252' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1253' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1255' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1233' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1234' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1235' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1236' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1237' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1238' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1256' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1257' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1258' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1254' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1290' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
              SELECT '1310' FROM DUAL
SELECT  l.id,
        nvl(short_desc,'This job failed') short_desc
  FROM      my_table m
  WHERE RIGTH JOIN
            list
          ON (
                  m.id = l.id
              AND
                  the_date > = SYSDATE - 23/24
              AND
                  the_date < TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 1
SY.
