Fortunately, I don't get many of that c*** at home, since I don't a whole lot of people my email address. But some gal at work has put me on her list, and she sends me all of the above, and has the nerve to do it on company time using company equipment! I see her name pop up on my groupwise notify, and I just delete it. I'm very tempted to send her a link to snopes- http://www.snopes2.com/ since alot of those stupid emails about men climbing into the cars of women as they pump their gas and dying kids are all addressed at that site, but that still wouldn't stop the ignorant chain letters - "be sure to keep the chain going so God will answer your prayers!" - I guess God ignored all our supplications before email chain letters were invented!

AnitPam, it's been awhile since I have read one of your posts, so I didn't know you've been laid off. I was too, about six months ago (at least, that was the most recent layoff!) so I know what you are going through. You eagerly check your email, hoping to get a response to you online resume, and all you get is useless junk mail.

I know this is all off-subject, but I'm kinda glad you felt the need to vent, because this is becoming a growing problem.

I hope you find a job soon.
