Shoes Do Not Make the Drag Queen
Posted by Moose on April 9th, 2007. Filed under: Nice Things.I applied for a side job writing a column for a small indie magazine. After making some nice comments about my writing and gearing up for the inevitable thanks but no thanks, they hit it home:
“We need someone a lot more flippant and drag-queeney in their perspective than you appear to be.”
I’m sorry to inform you, you who will reject me in the future, there is no way to top that. None. So you may as well just give me anything I want.

That right there is a rejection letter to frame.
Best. Rejection. Ever.

That is right up there with my “We wish we could consider but we feel it is morally outside of our guidelines.”
And what happened to your inner drag queen?

ok, once again, while reading Moose’s blog, I had to explain to my coworkers that I do not need any sort of treatment or therapy, and that laughing out loud while alone in your cubicle is completely acceptable.
Sorry they were not cool enough to hire you – I would totally hire you, except everything that I need written needs to be in Spanish. I love your attitude about it!

That has to be the best knock-back line ever. Apart from…..
…We’d love to promote you, but you’re too good at your job…
The job in question?
To train people to do my job.
A Line of question marks and expletives and big pictures of baboons showing their bums may follow.
