Today, my sister and I heard back from a job we both applied to. I had used the knowledge from my MBA degree to write a six-page essay for the application, while she just copied and pasted hers from a random website. Guess who got the job. FML

Cursed cursive

Today, I realized I am one of those people who has trouble reading their own handwriting. It looks like someone trying to write in cursive when they don't even have the slightest idea what cursive writing even is. I do know what it is. I'm just very, very rusty. FML

Today, I explained to my sister that the reason she isn't getting job offers is probably because her résumé is in Comic Sans and contains TXT language and a lot of typos. She thanked me for my help by calling me a "clueless horse-fucker" and telling me to shut my mouth. FML

Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML

Today, my 16 yr old cousin needed help making a job resume so I give him mine to see as an example. He changed my name to his and it got him a job right away. The sad part? I handed my resume out to about 30 places and I am still unemployed. FML

Well I'm not sure your perfectly legible application filled out in crayon will do you much better.

25 - That is true for some people but it's certainly not true of ALL messy writers OR smart people.

I hope you are working on your penmanship or trying to become a doctor.

Is there some health reason you cannot write legibly? It is a job skill. Practice, practice, practice.

Problem noted. Now do you intend on doing anything about it or just whine and moan about it the rest of your life? You know writing is one of those "life skills" that some people (like employers) will classify as necessary.

Better hope you won't need to write at work. Like most places or you'll have to take your helper who might get hired and you fired. Better work on your penmanship.

I've read that if you're handwriting is sloppy it's because you're more intelligent and have more thoughts going on at once.

Today, I was called by my son's school. They said he'd been forging my signature and comments in his reading book. He didn't forge them. I don't know what's worse: my handwriting looking like a 6 year-old's, or being too cowardly to admit it. He has a week of lunch detention, but I still have my dignity. FML
