PC, yes to everything DebetEsse said, although I'd be hard pressed to come up with a cover letter without a job description in front of me. Also, how's your handshake? Good luck! Gud, I'm sorry you're having a tough evening.

[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.

Yeah, I was going to say, resumes paper clipped , not stapled. Also make sure each resume has name and contact info on each page, and all pages except first should be numbered.

Also, since you are trying for writing positions, would not hurt of have some writing samples with you. Maybe on CD rather than paper to save printing costs.

That's what I meant by clips. Clippings. Copies of things you've written. Paper is probably best, since interviewers tend to scan them, if only to give them something to talk to you about.

Hard to have a cover letter if there's no actual job you're applying for--I'd say this is the one instance where one of those blurbs at the top of a resume would actually be useful and pointful. Normally I'm very anti those blurbs, they annoy me.
I'm finally home, but not especially wanting to go to work tomorrow. Besides all the "OK, now I'm back let me catch up on email" and work caused by teh travel, my semi-boss told me one of my other coworkers has been pulled onto a different project and so they may need me to do her travel too, in January. I was looking forward to teh crazy travel only being December, and then getting a break. ARGH. OTOH, sounds like some of her travel at least is Orlando...

Trust my rage
I'm awake and it's 3:25am. I'm up because the entire family went to bed at 8pm because Joe is jumping (out of an airplane) this morning and has to be there at 4am. I'm not really worried for him, but I am just a little bit worried. Of course, the jump isn't until 8, so I've got a while before I know he's fine.

He'll be fine, Stephanie. Jumping out of an airplane is a lot easier than jumping off the tower.
Which reminds me that I need to order coffee from you guys!
Mal and I are going to explore the new mall here, but first I had to stop by and say that he just said "Ole!" He's got a maraca rattle that says Ole and Bravo and plays the hat dance and La Cucaracha, and he was shaking it and said "Ole!"
And I also had to post this: [link]
