Both of those are out of line, but helpful in clarifying that this is an asshole you never want to work for.

Right? I was thinking it sounded like a decent PT gig, and then... not so much. I mean, the testy just sounds like maybe it was written ten minutes after firing or losing someone who wasn't good at it, but the other two? Dayum.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, seriously.
Jesse! I just now realized you started a words with friends game with me on Facebook, which I a) didn't 't know existed and b) can't access from the iPad.
I figured it was something like that!

the thought of 2 rows of eyelashes is giving me the heebie jeebies. I am picturing it like 2 rows of teeth.

Oh, I've been meaning to mention, my mother got out of the hospital Weds. She's still having some of the issues, but they are checking to see if it might be gluten (they've already ruled out lactose), and she's being more careful about things as well.

Good news, Frank. May she continue to get things sorted out.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The legality of that ad probably depends on the state, but you definitely cannot ask for age in California. Or rather, you can ask but you're begging for a lawsuit.

Yeah, exactly. Don't know if strictly illegal is the case, but deeply risky. And, of course, jackass. Whether they're trying to weed out "too young," unfairly associating it with unreliable or "too old," unfairly associating it with technologically challenged, say, it's just... dumb. I kind of think it's the former. Either way, pbthfft.

And clearly, I am not right in the head, because I want to "apply," but instead of providing a birth date, simply ask, "I'm curious as to why you are asking for my birth date?" Just to see how they'd respond. Of course, as with 99% of submissions, they wouldn't respond at all, but it'd be funny if they did!
