Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People will ask me about emails within ten minutes of sending them, easy.

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.

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

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.

I sent them my resume in March. They're not so fast. But maybe I'll just do the email, except for the CEO -- she seems old-school enough to appreciate paper. I was hoping to get rid of some of these notecards, though!

Send them to Perkins, one per shoe.

I have notecard issues in that I should be keeping track of which I sent to who. Why send L two identical Hello Kitty ones when she might also like Rupert the Bear?

Possibly not a real problem, just one I created in my head.

don't you owe Perkins a note?
