quicky rant

[hymie!]

So last week, I got an e-mail response to one of my job applications.

The e-mail included this text:

>Please respond and let me know, if there are any upcoming dates that
>you are unavailable.

The entire line was boldface, and the word "respond" was also underlined
(as was the "un" in "unavailable").

So I replied.

Today, they asked if I was still interested, as they had not heard from me.

Only then did I notice that the original e-mail (the one that I was
specifically asked to "respond" to) was sent from:

NoReply-R...@bitbucket.company.com

I wonder if they ever get any responses to their emails.

The makers of one popular HR software package seem to have gone to the
trouble of registering vainyvqrznvy.pbz , and using that as the domain
in the "From:" line of emails sent by their software.

For reasons that are beyond my comprehension, said domain appears to
have 3 MX records.
