Spike ,'Smile Time'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Emily, I think it is entirely possible deb is sitting home thinking, "For me! It's too much! I couldn't possibly return so deep a sentiment. After all, I am a married woman."
Hey, I don't sit through Reagan for just anybody!
...okay, eventually I muted it because it was raising my blood pressure too much (and I, in turn, was annoying vw with the bitching). And then there was Deb with the loveliness, and all was well! (We did demute after Reagan.)
I don't think $500 is too much to pay for a really well-made bag, but if I were using my own money, it would have to be a One True Bag Such That I Would Never Even Be Tempted By Another Bag Again. But as I have a tendency to be fickle about such things, spending $500 on a bag would only ensure that I'd see something to replace it with within a month.
I just balanced my checkbook, which made me very nervous. I was $250 off (my checkbook said I had $250 less than I should have). I'm glad I found the error, 'cause if I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have figured it out till I got my next statement. And trust me, right now that $250 is needed.
The mistake? Microsoft Money automatically withdraws $250 from my balance each month on the 8th. What for? My car payment...which I NO LONGER HAVE!!!! YAY! And also, phew!
By "bag," do we mean "purse," or do we mean larger than a purse, like you would take to work, with books/notebooks/laptop, etc?
(I still wouldn't pay $500 for either size, because inevitably I would spill an entire cup of coffee INTO it [which I have done], and then kick myself for ruining such a nice thing. But I'm curious as to what all y'all mean when you say "bag.")
If a job ad doesn't have a contact name, would you begin a cover letter with "Dear Hiring Manager" or "To Whom it May Concern"?

We are SO separated at birth.

I'd put "To Whom it May Concern"
If I was spending (or having $500 spent on me) I'd want something large, but sleek...maybe not messenger style, but something big enough for a notebook, calendar, pens, etc.
Actually I have a bag that big, but I hardly ever used the pockets. Because I wanted something to carry stuff! because stuff is cool and I like it! But now I'm back to my business card case only carrying my driver's license, debit card, and cash. Because, oh god, I don' want to carry stuff, it's too much trouble! Right now I've just got my DL and cash in a pocket becuase I can't find my business card case and it seems like too much trouble to even carry that.
If a job ad doesn't have a contact name, would you begin a cover letter with "Dear Hiring Manager" or "To Whom it May Concern"?First, I would try to find out the contact name. Call the company's human resource office, maybe?
Good call, Cindy. Looking at the website, it seems to be a very small office. The job's for a development assistant, so maybe the Director of Development?
