Oh, Yes I Did!

Last Friday I sent out two cover letters with the following paragraph:

Let me be blunt: as far as I’m concerned, if you do not hire me, you are an idiot. I have labored for two and a half years to try to get a library position, and have been consistently overlooked. I am smart, curious, and capable, and I have instructional and customer service experience to spare. I will be an asset to the library that finally hires me, and I can only hope that you will be that library. Thank you for your time.

OK, so it may not have been the wisest move -- and I do admit that I did it mostly because Dave dared me to. But it is, more or less, how I feel, although perhaps the word "idiot" is a tad harsh. Both the institutions I sent the cover letter to are libraries that I have applied to before, and never gotten much in the way of response back, so I didn't expect to hear back from them anyways.
