I get this one regularly, but today I decided to follow up. Just for fun.
An agency sent me an e-mail where the recruiter said "I have been reviewing your CV you are a great match for a vacancy I am working on. Please could you send me your CV."
I called to ask how in the name of Bob he could have reviewed my CV without having it. I promise I didn't swear [much] but I don't think I'll be getting much through that agency for a while...

I bet you'll get another contact from them within the week

Probably. Like a crack whore to her pimp, they come back. They all come back.

Send him your CV quickly!
This is clearly a job in the future so time travel is involved - and if you don't send your CV then you will cause a paradox of major proportions, risking the destruction of the entire universe. Including the Gordons distillery.

If there's a chance that it means all these numpties disappearing up their own proverbials then it is a risk worth taking.

Think of the Gin that will vanish at the same time!
And the sheep...the poor, lonely, innocent sheep that willan haven retrobeen aforepreexisted.
(Even after Dan Streetmentioner, I find the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Subjunctive Intentional tense of "Exist" to be awkward...)

F* the sheep! Though if they never exist you can't.

And if I didn't exist you'd all have to invent me...

Based upon your CV he probably thought you wouldn't catch the logical inconsistency.
It's called 'targeted marketing'.

And this benefits you how?

It stops idiots who obviously aren't bothering to do their research from bothering me. These are 'harvesters', only after getting the CV's and I know not why as you never hear back.

I seem to be in a minority not caring about governments spying on me, but I read in the paper this morning that somebody had worked out that his LG television was recording his viewing habits and sending the information back to LG - seemingly for targeting advertising.
So, when you change channel that gets logged allegedly. This does concern me - as we enter an age where everything is connected and getting smarter devices are feeding back your habits for corporate use. Your phone does it, supermarkets do it and now your TV does it. That I think is one step too far...

Nice sweater by the way. It looks good on you.

My usual response to that is, "So, you won't mind if the police show up without a warrant and start rummaging through your closets, inspecting your sock drawer and making copies of your computer hard drives. I mean, if you aren't doing anything wrong...."

If the executives at LG had the power to invade my home and look in my sock drawer I'd be worried about the spying. As it stands now, if I catch an executive of LG looking through my sock drawer I could probably get away with shooting him.
However, the police have a long history of violating basic civil rights - so no sock drawer for them.

That depends on your definition of 'wrong'.
The problem is, first and foremost, it is a violation of the 4th Amendment in the US.
If the gov't suddenly decides that owning books is 'wrong', or having cats is wrong, or that more than one computer means you have too much money, so they'll come take one of the computers, and garnish your wages..
Are you still ok with it then?

You missed the joke icon, I believe.

I missed it too.

You would have been a model citizen in a communist country.
We detested people like you.
