From my weekly alumni e-mail:


Here is another email censorship story. There was a very strong external applicant for a job with
our company. He was asked to send his resume to several of our folks. We waited, but it didn't show up. Over the phone he said he sent it and re-sent it, but still nothing was received on our end. The problem was that his credentials were just too good. He
graduated "with highest honors" and it turned out the Latin word for "with" is on the no-no list for our email filter.

The moral for new graduates: you'll have a better chance of getting a foot in the door with mediocre school performance.

That's pretty funny but yikes! Blocking an entire email over one word sounds problematic - other programs just block the offending word, like they do on websites.

Next time I send a vitae, I'll use the English instead of the Latin.

I had a problem a few weeks ago when HPM tried to send me restrictions and info on setting up a web site for my cub scouts. The word 'porn' was in the text, referring to a prior incident or something like that and the whole e mail was held up in San Diego (our home office).

How funny:

summa cum laude = with highest praise
magna cum laude = with great praise
cum laude = with praise

If you want to get laid, go to college, but if you want an education,
go to the library.
