Wasting my time

It appears I've been wasting my time. I've been wasting my time networking, I've been wasting my time doing interviews, I've been wasting my time applying to jobs through useless websites, making useless connections I may never use. All this time, ALL THIS TIME, the quick fix has been in my email, just sitting calmly, and waiting, and waiting and waiting for me to realize that the answer to my future joblessness has been right in front of me all along...

in my spam mail.

What a goldmine I've ignored for so long! Riches and wonders awaiting me now! I thought I was struggling, when all along, the offers have been pouring in!!

Like this gem from a Mrs Turuer Ann (lweil@rrohio.com):

Ladies and gentlemen, I've traveled over half our internet to be here tonight. I couldn't get here sooner because my new bookkeeper/representative was emailing me from Canada/USA/Europe and I had to see about it...
