You Are Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Today, during my daily quest for suitable employment, I sought solace from Garbage's careernet. Usually, amongst a mix of firms located in China town, there are an assortment of non-traditional legal position listings including ballet dancer, toll booth operator and/or MTA worker. I of course apply for all jobs that are posted on this site. My rationale: "There is simply no good reason that I should be rejected by these postings." Of course, I am, and that is my cross to bear.

Today, I found a position that I in good faith can not consider. This is rare, as I am willing to stoop so low as to apply for a position to be an extra on Gossip Girl, a staff writer for a pornographic publication and/or versions of my current post elsewhere. However, I absolutely can not apply for the following:

Powerscore, what type of joke is this? I mean, are you mocking me? No one at Garbage has above a -150 on their LSATs. As a categorical rule, you should instruct your human resources department to not permit postings at such an institution. It is just plain rude. If for some reason subject scored in the 99th percentile on their LSATS, they sure as hell are not perusing garbage's careernet to apply to the same jobs that this subject is perusing. Now that you have offended me so, the only possible manner you can redeem yourself is kindly ask administrator of LSATs to allow someone in the 99th percentile to take retake the LSATs for me. Or rather, next time you post on my Alma Matta's careernet, I will actually submit an application for your consideration and when you see my LSAT score, you can suffer the same shame and mockery that you have caused me to suffer this afternoon.
