This is a one time mailing.

I blanked out the phone# and email address so as to not further this douchebag's cause. It goes on to basically whine about how they want a job, it's been a tough year... etc. My thing is, who is going to hire someone as a web designer who's spamming the entire world complaining that they can't get their cushy web design job? You know what? Jobs are out there. Everywhere I go there are help wanted signs. Are the jobs amazing? Some of them, no. You know what? There are a lot of good people who can't find the exact jobs they want now. The fact that someone would stoop to spamming in order to find a job is unbelievable to me. But I realize that it's coming to that. Now I'm going to start seeing my inbox piled up with every poor slob who gets laid off. Get the hell out there and find yourself a job, people.

Sigh.
