I tip movers, but only tipped the last furniture delivery guys. And they'd had a fun job! They got to roll my cuddle lounge to my apartment.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know if I believe msbelle, honestly.
Thanks to my unbelievable laziness, I now feel like a large puerco. Not only did I get a cuban sandwich delivered, it seemed weird to just order the sandwich, so I got fries, too. Next time I will get my ass out of the house and around the corner to pick up the sandwich myself. No fries + walk to get there = diet and exercise program.

I cleaned out my work email inbox yesterday. I was reading one of those "get your life more efficient!" things, and set to a herculean task.
I'm skimming the rest of the suggestions, and one says to have your client check no more than every 20 minutes.
Unrelatedly, due to the fixing of my mail issues of last week, my system was checking every 15 minutes. Hell no! People will ask me about emails within ten minutes of sending them, easy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Ailleann,
Sorry, wrong 270. I'm near Washington DC.(The problem was an accident on the American Legion Bridge, on 495 which 270 feeds into. 270 was backed up pretty far, which should give you a hint how frelled up traffic is here.)

Sheryl: ick. Maybe the number is cursed, cause our 270 has sucked as well. Sorry to hear about your traffic.

That makes me nuts.
Survey question time! Interview thank-you notes: cutesy polka-dot thank-you card, solid dark color panel, flowery blank notecard, or other. I'm leaning toward the cutesy, at least for the person I had a whole conversation about "reclaiming pink" with, but is that Too Too? Should I be more formal? Am unsure.

all I kept being told when I was interviewing was to send a typed business-type letter or an email.

See, I've heard hand-written before, and I'm starting to think it might be charmingly retro.

I sent emails. And apparently they were what tipped the decision in my favour. If only I still had them.
Which is to say, if you're doing snailmail, go simple.
What's the timeline of their decision? I'd not have waited in my scenario for USPS to get there. And my recruiter was of that mind too.
