Hivemind question: I want to put together a little going away present for T before her move. I should have already done this, but I have been avoiding thinking about it. I don't want anything that will be difficult for her to pack. I have thought of a couple of little things, but I would be grateful to have some suggestions.

sj, maybe you can do a scrapbook filled with written memories and pictures of the two of you. That's if you still have time before she leaves. A scrapbook would be reasonably flat, so she shouldn't have too much trouble packing it. (Or you could type up an lj post describing Tal a bit and I might have more ideas.)

Only to realize that there's still a load in the washer that I didn't take care of. Back to the laundromat.

Ooops! I've done that before, though, vw. Don't be too hard on yourself.

I went into work today but I was sent home to recover a bit more. I thought for sure I'd feel as good as new today but I feel more like I've been hit by a truck.

She glowed in the dark?

It wouldn't surprise me if she did, let's just say.

Good procedure-ma to Suzi's mom.

I think now we know who the other lady on the elevator is!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Good for your work for sending you home, Nicole. Rest lots, and feel better.

She's making herself her own scrapbook, and she is much better at that kind of thing than I am. I gave her a jokey Rhode Island book yesterday. I am supposed to be getting her a webcam, but that is more so I can see the nephews, than a gift that is really for her. I don't know if I could manage a full lj post about her right now.

I have a quick question about applying for jobs. Is it okay to apply for two different jobs at one business or should I just pick the job I think will be the best fit and apply for that?

Also, is there a good way to ask about a salary range before I apply, "competetive" is all that it says and I don't want to apply for something if the pay is too low.

apply for both.

When they won't give a dollars range - they are probbably fairly flexible. But I would add a required salary range if there is a place for it .

sj, maybe some preaddressed and stamped postcards (addressed to you, of course)? Some artsy, some funny, and maybe a pack of those postcards she can peel'n'stick one of her own photos onto.

Nora, I emailed you back.

Good ideas, JZ. I want to get her a bunch of cute little things like that, but I was also hoping for something more like a keepsake. She doesn't wear much jewellery, so that is pretty much out, but there has to be some nice way to honor nearly twenty-three years of friendship and let her know that I will always be around.
