I don't want to mess with karma, but... I needed this!

As the new work year takes off, I can't help but look back to the last year, and even a little further back, when I was juggling my studies with a very frustrating job hunt. That job hunt was partly the trigger that made me start writing this blog, and actually today, I received news from one of the kick ass companies I applied to then that rejected my application before even reading my CV because my grades, MY GRADES, were (literally*) "not good enough".

Just today I got this email (For economy purposes I will re-write it):

Dear M,

When we received your application we thought you had great potential, we were wondering if you would like to apply again. Send us your CV and let us know what you've been up to.

Best

Kick Ass Ltd


And how I wanted to reply:


Dear people at Kick Ass Ltd,

Please wait for my application... comfortably seated.

Best

M

But karma is a tricky thing, and I may get kicked in the ass sooner or later, therefore I choose to remain quiet while inwardly sniggering** (not literally though!)

And now, just for fun and because all this looking back has made me reflect somewhat on how I ended working for... well, you may know for who(m), here's another fun strip courtesy of theoatmeal.com: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/interviewees


And as usual... Such is Life!

** Snigger: To neigh, as a horse, especially in a gentle tone.
