Operation Resume Storm

Named after 1991's Operation Desert Storm, the invasion of Iraq during the First Gulf War. Refers to a job seeker's decision, especially during a recession year, to print off and mail out dozens or hundreds of resumes in hopes that some employer will offer him an interview. Usually unsuccessful.

Graduation's only a few months away and if I don't get a job I'll have to move back home. It's about time to mount Operation Resume Storm!

Because that's on my resume

Something you say sarcastically to your boss when they constantly ask you to do work that's not in your job description or some lazy co-workers'responsibility.

Boss: Hey Steve, can you go pick me up a birthday card for my wife?
Steve: Because that's on my resume.

Boss: Hi Mary, Steve screwed up our quarterly stats again. Do me a fave and fix it by tomorrow?
Mary: (sarcastic eye-roll) Yeah because that's on my resume! Glad Steve makes $10G's more than me.
