From the desk of...someone confused.

Remember the vacuous junior high cheerleader who had signed up for a MySpace page using my address? Well, prepare to be dazzled. It's clear now that there are currently multiple obtuse Stephs who have given away one of my email addresses as their own. A few years ago, I had received a few emails for some Steph graduating college on the East coast. Mostly it was her university hitting me up for donations (which I can understand puposely giving out the wrong email address for) and her mother, of all people (who OUGHT to have a correct address. Or not, depending on the mother.). Well, apparently she's moved to California and is on a job hunt, obliviously giving out the wrong email address again becasue today the junk mail filter almost caught this:

Steph,

Oh...OOPS, I guess. I'm so not sympathetic. It makes me wonder if I'm a real schmuck. I'm tempted to write HR back and let them know they made the right decision. Actually, my only choice is to let her try to follow up about the position and get the bad news in person....Which I really hope makes her realize that she's fallen prey again to whatever stupidity it is that makes people forget their own email addresses on multiple instances when it's important they get their contact info correct.

That's so hilarious and weird at the same time. Who forgets their e-mail address and who wouldn't check an e-mail address a bazillion times when you give it to someone in HR at a place you want to be hired? Well, you are right, "Steph" deserves the rejection.
