it was all downhill from the cheerios
medicinal vodka, on-hand, pre-frozen
Today was the sort of day that demanded a happy ending, i.e. unsupervised consumption of cocktails.
By 10 a.m. I had managed to get cheerios in my bra. By 11 a.m. I was halfway through resume and portfolio reviews. It is amazing I did not run screaming down the street to the liquor store. I was feeling the urge for a glass of wine when I came across a cover letter, composed in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Because nothing says "Hire me!" like the inappropriate and egregious usage of caps.
Followed up by another cover letter that proclaimed, "I believe in FUNctional design!"
Yep, puttin' the fun back in functional. I simply cannot grant an interview to an individual who has nauseated me.
And the climax of the ridiculous was brought by a woman who included her key lime pie recipe in her portfolio.
I just resented the implication. But Em argued that I should grant her an interview, as her recipe called for fresh lime juice. Thus showing a laudable attention to quality and detail.
Sorry, no.

So sorry about the horrible morning, but might you still have that recipe? It has to be good for her to include it in a resume!!! I must admit I agree with Ems, humor us =)
