Rejected Rejection

"Bad Day At Work ... Almost"*

*A man joined a big Multi National Company as
a trainee. On his first day he dialed the pantry
and shouted into the phone, "Get me a coffee quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded, "You
fool you've dialed the wrong extension! Do you
know who you're talking to, dumbo?"

"No", replied the trainee.

"It's the Managing Director of the company, you fool!"

The man shouted back, "And do you know who
YOU are talking to, you fool?"

"No.", replied the Managing Director.

"Good!" replied the trainee and put down the phone.

"Rejected Rejection"*

*Dear Ms. Ezell:

Thank you for your letter of July 17. After careful
consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable
to accept your refusal to offer me employment with
your firm. This year I have been particularly fortunate
in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters.

With such a varied and promising field of corporate candidates
it is impossible for me to accept all refusals for employment.

Despite your company's outstanding qualifications and
previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that
your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time.

Therefore, I will initiate employment with your firm immediately
following graduation. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.

Sincerely,
Marc Taylor
