Yaaaay! Money’s gonna be tight this month! (Now would be an excellent time for the philanthropists in the audience to take a look at the commission page.)

So I’m looking at Craigslist for job openings, and because I’m strongly considering selling my fake drums. (Shameless as this is, anyone in the Denver area can email me and see what $200 will get you.) Anyhow, I see this ad for a dishwashing position, which says to send them a resume in Word format. For a dishwashing job. What the fuck? Okay, here’s my resume:

Skills:
Can wash dishes
Managed to send this resume to you despite your insistence that I use the proprietary format of a $200 program
Can also dry dishes

I feel that covers it. And I’d have to send a half-dozen files because the different iterations of Word aren’t cross-compatible, from what I hear. Because god forbid I use an RTF. Why use a format that’s impossible not to open in any Windows computer sold in the last 13 years? (I already know it’s a foregone conclusion that business types couldn’t handle a .txt file. The lack of formatting is a sure sign of satanism.)

The real bitch is that this was the dealbreaker for me, and not the fact that it’s, y’know, a dishwashing job.
