Today, I finished doing a resume that I had spent three hours on. I e-mailed it to the business I was applying for, satisfied. I decided to look it over. The first thing I notice, I spelt my own name wrong. FML

OMG what kind of an idiot does that? I don't know what's worse, the fact that you misspelled your own name or the fact that you decided to look it over AFTER you submitted it. YDI.
