How Not To Get A Job

I'm often bad at motivating myself to send emails to apply for jobs. One trick I use is to send myself emails with all the relevant info, and a motivating subject line, that way I have everything I need right in front of me in the email.

I just received a reply from a job I applied to, and realized that I somehow failed to change the subject line from my self-sent email when I forwarded the actual application.

So, it shouldn't really surprise me that I didn't get a job when the subject line of my email reads, "DO THIS SOON, POOPHEAD!"



Please kill me.

Posting mainly so you can be entertained by something other than my failings

Lex was kind enough to send me links to some Tom Lehrer clips on youtube. There's an old one, and then a more recent performance broken into two parts which may be of special interest to [livejournal.com profile] recursivepizza
