No sir, I won't be sending you my résumé. It's a photograph of when I was a baby. Ain't I cute then? Yet the adult me today is far more formidable and plain-looking than that now lie.

And no, ma'am, I'm not applying to be your employee. I would not want to waste your perks on polluting, draining commutes, a wardrobe of clothes I don't ergonomically wear for doing my best work, and consumables of food, drink, power, and office environments which I could optimise from home, remote yet close to our profession.
