That Sucks For Mr. Young

Shortly after I applied for that job yesterday I got a FOAD e-mail in response.
Or at least, someone named “Mr. Young” did, as that’s who the message was addressed to.
I came extremely close to sending back a response saying, “Well, it’s too bad for this Mr. Young guy that you aren’t interested in hiring him, but what about me?”
Yes, I realize that it was just a generic response copied and pasted into a message to me without anyone bothering to change who it was addressed to, but hey, rejection hurts – especially when the person rejecting you can’t bother to get your name right – and the message put me into a defensive and snarky posture.
I also considered sending back a response saying, “You said that my résumé was reviewed carefully…I hope it was reviewed more carefully than the response you sent to me.”
Oh well.
Today was a pretty uneventful day. Apart from doing some work on a picture, I really didn’t do anything.
I actually continue to be amazed by my ability to not do a damn thing all day. Too bad there’s no way to market that skill.
Of course, even if it were a skill that was in demand, I probably couldn’t manage to get hired to do it.
