Ah god, I'm dying! Thank you, thank you, today has royally blown big goats and that just MADE MY DAY. I'm crying in my seat because I'm laughing so hard and the co-workers are getting frustrated because I wont tell them whats so funny.
I tend to be the one who handles the email address that gets used as a contact for when we have an ad out for a position.
We get flooded with some of the most interesting resumes. Some of them make me wonder why they're applying here (one was fresh out of some bakery school, another fresh out of training to be a nurse).
But the ones filled with hideous typoes are the most fun. Especially when they manage to mis-type their own name...

You sure about that? Considering some of the spellings parents saddle their kids with nowadays...
Unless it's like one of the OTHER ones we got for the clerk job where the person's name was spelled differently in their signature and on the front page, and their initials didn't match their name...

We had a guy that worked in the warehouse that liked to put his name on the stuff he used a lot with black sharpie or magic marker. We have evidence of it spelled three different ways, in his own hand.
The name, you ask?
Morris.

I can see the need for correct spelling and grammar.
I can see the need for it to be clearly printed in a readable font.
I can see the need for it to be on a medium to high quality white or off white paper.
But I can't see the need for it to be printed to within a micrometer of central on the page.
Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

It wasn't even that...her problem was that it wasn't dead on absolutely perfect to the proof I made... there was an imperceptable jitter from copy to copy. You could only tell if you jogged each pair and then held them up to a light.
How did she know the proof was the "correct copy?" I should have asked her that just to mess with her head.
I'm serious, she acted like I'd returned her job after someone had marked it up with a dog turd. 'oh, this is just not acceptable. I can't accept it like this."
