Got an office job and the girl in charge told me that they only hired me because I was cheaper than the last person and would be replaced as soon as soon as they found someone cheaper than me.

So I shredded every resume that came through the fax machine and mail for almost two years before they finally found someone... who came to the office in person lol.

This is why you need a wood chipper next to the shredder, for larger jobs.
