This one struck a bad chord with me today. Could it be because its been ten months already, without a oasis in sight? Possibly. Could it be barometric pressure building up in the walls of my oversized head? Perhaps. Could it be the bug who takes residence in my ass... found a roommate? Maybe. Could it be this letter arrived at a bad time... and has a disturbingly patronizing tone to it? I think we have a winner!
Something just rubs me the wrong way about being praised as having a "quite impressive resume" and "great potential for me in the working world" ... yet being turned down for, what in most cases as a junior designer, is just above an entry level position?! Im not saying its not true I didnt meet their requirements, or I was robbed of this job, or fuck this and fuck that... although it seemed like I was good enough from their description of the job.
All Im saying is at this moment... on this day... at this hour... that letter is just a little too patronizing. Kind of says to me... hey youre really good, but you still suck too much for our almost entry level position. Id almost rather it just came out and said... we're sorry, but you just suck all around. I was almost to the point of calling this place... just to tell them their rejection letters are just a tad patronizing... but I didnt, cause I just suck all around.
If this keeps going the way it is, with letters like that... I hope that bug up my ass and his roommate dont go investing in a surround-sound system?!
