Overqualified

I'm going to order this book "Overqualified" by Joey Comeau. It's just too funny.

Every page is a cover letter to a different company. I'd like to think Joey actually sent these out, but I doubt it. Some of them would be the DHS on his tail. Consider this letter, to Aliant Telecom:
I have tried to kill myself three times in as many days. I spent six hours on the internet this morning, having shallow conversations with a dozen of my friends. They kept asking "how do you feel?" and posting the little hug icon from MSN. ...
We have to stop it. We have to clean your server rooms with fire. We have to tear out its backbone.

I know that the internet lives somewhere in the tunnels underneath the Aliant Telecom offices in Halifax. There have to be tunnels, there's no other explanation.

Please. Hire me. Give me the access codes to our salvation. If I am in the computers as an employee, it won't see me come, gasoline can in hand.
