Happy Birthday, Polter-Cow!
Good luck vw!

[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.

I have a whole list of things I need to do today, and so far I just keep reading it.

Ok...I have the job if I want it. But, here's the thing. It's a filing job. I don't really want it. Now I have to e-mail the other two people I'm waiting to hear back from and tell them I have an offer, and I need to make a decision. I hope this doesn't backfire. I don't really want a filing job.

Ok...here's the e-mail I just wrote. How does this look?
I just wanted to follow up and make sure that you received my updated resume last week. Also, I wanted to let you know that I have received a job offer. It is for a filing position in Human Resources. I have asked Denise McNair to give me a day or so to think about it so I can follow up with you.
I am better fit to use my skills with a job like the research assistant position. I am very interested in the position, and if you have not filled it, I would really like to speak with you about it again. I just don't want to accept this other position, then get an offer from you, which is what happened in May.
I do not want to put pressure on you, so if you are unable to make a decision at this time, just let me know.
Thank you so much!

move out and draw fire
vw, my two cents oppose sending that letter. If you send a note that says "Did you get my res? Can we talk?" that would be fine, but if I received a letter like yours from an applicant it would prejudice me against that applicant.
It's nicely written, but there are two things against it: 1) it sounds like what it is: pressure. There's no way to disguise that. 2) There is an element of largesse in offering someone a job, and most employers having two equal candidates would give the job to the candidate who didn't have another option.

Happy belated birthday to Trudy and Kara!
I don't want to go to work.
Also the ankle I twisted last week is really throbbing this morning.

Nodding with Raq and adding my two cents. Too bad four cents won't buy anything cool.
So far today kinda sucks in the world of me. It must be Monday.
Quick ankle healing ~ma for Hec!

I have to agree with Raq here. I would make contact, but not with the specifics.
