Ouch...

Impersonal rejections suck. Of course a personalized one would have been crappy too. "We took a vote and decided, well, you suck..." At least with the impersonal thing I can blame some sort of mechanical failure (something was late, or soemthing like that). I am, at this time, comforted by visions of Dr. Proteous and an antiquated computer spitting cards at random from its slashed casing. While on the subject of rejections, I had this one guy write me that he "was sorry to refuse my offer" because he felt it "unethical to carry on tandem negotiations" and closed saying that he hoped to introduce me to his "samurai code"... Yikes!
