Okay, so everyone knows it’s been a whirlwind of activity regarding my employment, my search for employment, and the offers I’ve received for employment. I really have been planning to write a huge post about everything, from joe-jobs to reality TV to corporate positions I think I’m too good for, but that will just have to wait.
I received an e-mail today, and it went something like this:

Without missing a beat:
Hello Fetus,
Please find my attached resume and let me know when you would like to schedule an interview.
Thanks,

Is it obvious that I just don’t fucking care anymore?
Follow-up: They called me less than two minutes after I sent that e-mail to schedule an interview. Those wishing to learn more about my clever response-snaring tactics may stay tuned to platkat.com for further updates. Ha.

I still bow down to the fact you called her “Fetus”. Indeed, there aren’t props mad enough.
