You’ve received them. Those emails with a From Address with @donotreply.com. And yet – you just can’t help yourself. You dare to buck the system. You lash out at automated application emails and refuse to follow the instructions and links within. With a massive click of the mouse you declare “I will reply directly to the email DAMMIT – because I can!”

And two days later this is you:

Hey Mary – did you receive my email?

No

But I sent it two days ago! What do you mean we didn’t get the project because we didn’t send our response in on time?!?!

I never received it so you lost your chance. Better luck next time.

Way to go, rebel. You….are a moron.
