maybe this is why i haven't gotten a job yet ...

from the wall street journal's college journal:

Dylan Hunter, 34, of Northborough, Mass., notes on his résumé that he received a master's degree in business administration from Babson College, in Wellesley, Mass., in 1999 and graduated magna cum laude. About three weeks ago, he sent his résumé to a consumer packaged-goods company and received an automated e-mail response that said his résumé had been deleted because it contained a specific obscenity, which the response detailed. Mr. Hunter changed "magna cum laude" to "with high honors," resubmitted the résumé and received an automated reply thanking him for his interest in the company.

it could be the obscenities, but I would just prefer to blame Bush. It feels better, and is probably more accurate.
