Also, this job wants a writing sample. I don't have the foggiest idea the best kind of thing to send.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Lilty, for a development position I'd try to send a sample either of persuasive writing, whether business writing or something you did for a class, or nonfiction storytelling--the kind of stuff you'd see in a newsletter from a nonprofit you've donated to.

Nora, I think the pay cut will be inevitable, especially if I'm looking at going back into non-profits. But at this point, I'd gladly take a second job again for just a couple of nights a week to offset that. Just go to Borders and spend ten hours a week shelving or at the register or something. It would seem like heaven.
Now I'm all twitchy and excited at the idea of actually doing this.

Nora, I've got another favor to ask you. E-mailing you as I type.

I hope it comes together for you, Lilty.
My job -- heck, my entire office -- currently has a sign with, "Don't Get Too Attached" on the door, in giant, flaming, invisible letters. We can't really see it, but we all know it's there.
Goodness, I hope community colleges are hiring English teachers this year. Or distance-learning teachers/coordinators -- I could do either one pretty well.
