fox | writing cover letters brings out my inner snape

so we got this e-mail from the college office, saying the university card office needs people for data entry, both keyboarding and image capture -- they need people to run the scanner and type in names and departments and whatnot to make ID cards before the freshmen get here. pays £6.30/hour for ten hours a week (for six weeks or so, i guess), and i say, bring it on!

the first paragraph of my cover letter says:

Dear Mrs. [Name]:

I write to express my interest in the position of Data Inputter at the University Card office. My CV, enclosed, shows recent work experience; you will see that I am diligent and reliable, and have experience at management and supervisory positions as well as at the entry level. With the possible exception of the time I spent as House Manager at [theatre], all of the positions described on my CV involved a great deal of data entry and quality control, as well as considerable deadline pressure and productivity quotas, in addition to the usual office work of filing and keeping documents in order.

i have chosen not to include the logical next sentence: In fact, I am preposterously over-qualified for this job, but that can only be good for you, as I'll get it done twice as fast and thereby save you half the money.

have to see about getting the job even though i'll want to Not Be Working the week
