Offended? Rejection letters are so rare that I might send a thank you for recognizing the right thing to do.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Offended?
He was oppressed!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
He was oppressed!
In writing, no less. There's no getting over that.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Not hearing is so much worse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sadly normal. But worse.
Can you imagine *not* sending out form letters to much more than 5 or 10 applicants? Who expects personal details at that point? Kee-rist.

Special K:
My sister is being a tech flake. She suggested uninstalling and reinstalling her DVD drive drivers, went ahead and uninstalled, and then asked me where the new drivers were. And chastened me for not telling her to have had them beforehand. That's not a technical detail! That's common sense! Now it'll still be my fault if she doesn't get it working.

God, I want to scream at her! I can't believe she screwed herself like this and I can't get her out of it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds immensely frustrating.
Is that really Prince in a Target ad?

I can't find the drivers on the website, and if I do yell at her she'll just feel bad about herself which won't make me feel better.
So now I'm all paranoid that all the computers in my family are going to catch Conficker, and that'll be my fault too.
-t, YES. Very weird.
