I wouldn't use "Dear Jim", Susan.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm looking at a job listing where applicants are instructed to email resumes to jim@whatever.org. I've been poking around the website, but haven't been able to determine the last name and title of Jim. So do use the salutation "Dear Jim" or "To Whom It May Concern"?
I think you use the latter if no identity is provided for in the listing. Besides, you never know if jim is really Jim, or maybe Janet Iglesias McSquarsky's initials.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
On a completely different topic, how many words to a page would you ballpark for 12-point Times New Roman on 8.5x11 paper?
Double spaced=250.

I can see singlespaced being up to around 600.
Yeah, but ... not 950, right? Which is what she's saying? I *think* she probably means 550 and just got it confused for some reason.
I wish I had been here more than three days so I could just say WTF. Alas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which reminds me -- someone I was hanging out with the other day kept saying WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff." It was weird.
Also weird, I just got complimented on my cleanliness by the custodian. I used to get that in my last job, too. WTF are people doing in their offices to make them so dirty??

Yeah, 950 is nuts.
Oh, and in the cover letters I've done so far on this job search (all three of them), I've been including a sentence to the effect that I left my previous job to freelance upon the birth of a child in 2004, and that I'm now seeking a return to full-time work. In a way that feels like oversharing, but it seems like it's best that they know I left of my own free will for a standard reason rather than being fired or laid off. Make sense?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Except I called the design person, and she *also* says 950.
Maybe they use a magic font?
