Anyone who is old enough to remember MUDs feels your pain - it's a real shame that you had to test HR inputs this way though!

$ CROSS DRAWBRIDGE

CANNOT CROSS DRAWBRIDGE

$ TRAVERSE DRAWBRIDGE

CANNOT TRAVERSE DRAWBRIDGE

$ ABANDON DRAWBRIDGE

YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR EFFORTS ARE WASTED TRYING TO EXPLAIN YOUR QUEST TO A LOW LEVEL GUARD.

YOUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE.

GO NORTH, WEST, SOUTH OR EAST (?)

Your application for an internship was spot on - ignore any and all feedback you've received from the HR rep, as it's all gumph. You obviously know what you're doing, and Internships (while beneficial in the market at the moment) are useful, you will be more than capable finding real paid work in any other area with your skillset - and best of luck to you as well. Aiming high doesn't necessary mean applying to the Facebooks and Googles of the world.

--- Wonder if the HR filters take regex?

'It'"'"'s a $"[nN].[Xx]" system! I know this!'*

*Edit: This also qualifies you on Xanax, which may not be what you want.
