Dear Sirs

Date and Time  - Feb. 16th, 2002, 11:21 am

Current Mood  - nostalgic nostalgic
Current Music  - Marie LaForet - La Voix du Silence

I can't believe the number of people who still write "Dear sirs," on their cover letters. About 3 or 4 years ago, I was working as an Administrative Assistant and was one of my tasks was sorting the resumés for several high and mid-level level positions as they came in. Any resumé with a cover letter that started out "Dear sirs," went instantly to the trash. This was not at the boss's order, he probably wouldn't have had an issue with the "Dear sirs,", however he never got a chance to see them.

Do You Smell a Troll

The trolls (and a couple users who have withered under the troll onslaught) in the [info]feministas community have been griping at me about my throwing away sexist asshole resumés. Sorry, I feel no pity for sexist pigs. I cannot feel bad about what I did.

They tell me I should have brought the issue up with my boss rather than simply throw them out. Yeah right? These people don't live in my world where if you lose your income you could wind up on the streets. I lived on the streets for two years. I'm not going back.

I've suffered enough discrimination by this fucked up system. I've lived the dark lonely nights on the endless roads. I don't feel that I owe this sick system anything. I'm obviously not a part of it. Fuck them. If I take what little pieces of power I can grab, I am happy. Fuck them. Stupid sheltered brats.
