I'm sorry, I have no snark for this. I own my own business, and I'm interested in hiring adults, not special snowflakes. If you need to have your mom call me, go watch "Failure to Launch" until you get over it. And if your mommy does call me, you ain't gettin' the job, no matter what or who you are. /Snark on
