Well, I’ve made email mistakes before (as Anders knows-sex ‘n sushi all the way) but, I’ve just bested myself. As a way of releasing my inner pain at my lastest self-stabbing online, I’ll share…
I just switched to a new mail address. To test whether I had successfully removed the auto-sig that the company uses to advertise for itself, I compiled a new one and sent it out to some friends:
———————————————————————————
“You gnaw leather chew toys, you scum sucking, frog victimizing, aberrant promulgator of Pikachu’s greasy, tick-plagued loins! You hairball slurping, chicken jumping, pseudo-human android spawn of a malodorous pervert! You lewd harbinger of a space alien’s romantic fling at the zoo! Die!”
———————————————————————————
Well, my new sig did replace the standard one. About a day later I began sending “change of email address” out to all important people, including potential and starting-this-wednesday-at-a-new-job employers. Accidentally (and perfectly) I forgot to replace the sig file test I made, so at the end of each “change of email address, please reply to confirm address update” was “You knaw leather chew toys…” etc.
aiyaiyai. so far, one reply from a firm in Seattle which said only: “Cute.”
in song… “Ohhhhh, how many times can i f!ck myself over, how many times indeeeee eee eee eeeeed…”
i guess this will show me immediately all the firms with cool senior p.i.‘s :)
