Live Free or Die

Late last night, I suddenly found myself in one those prickly, "F everyone" type of moods. I imagine other people must get feelings like these. But maybe not. How did I channel these thoughts, you must be wondering? How about sending out a balls to the walls email to a potential employer!

The company in question is a local Ad Agency. If anyone can think outside the box and appreciate a well crafted email, (at least I thought it was a well crafted email) its gotta be an Ad Agency, right? Not to mention an Ad Agency, who, on their website, proclaim to love the great state of NH. Swell, me too. And it went a little something like this:

To the Minds in Charge of Hiring at The Angela Bauer Ad Agency:

Please contact me if you're looking for a young, creative, big thinking addition to your team with versatile experience in business development and a strong background in marketing. A unique mix of the proverbial hunter and gatherer, with an added dose of conscience. Someone with a natural knack for captivating an audience, but capable of wearing many hats to get things done behind the scenes. An eloquent speaker and writer. Self-confident yet coachable. And also a deep-rooted New Hampshire boy who migrated back home from the city, for no better reason than to enjoy the simplicity of our mountains in the winter, our rivers, lakes and beaches in the summer, and most importantly that Live Free or Die attitude that lies deep in the hearts of any true Granite Stater.

I am an Individual. And if the Bauer Agency is in the market for Individuals, as I think it may be, feel free to reach out. You will not regret it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Utley

The goal of that email was to appeal to the mind of someone with a f'n personality. Someone who appreciates a little humor. A little passion. A little g*damn, mf'n chutzpah.

And in the words of that chick from the movie Dazed & Confused: Lick Me! All of You!
