Was told today that people cannot leave work until all projects due are complete for the day. Even if new jobs are added that weren't planned for and even if half the day is wasted waiting for approvals.
Lovely. Sorry your job is attacking you.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too, msbelle. That sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy vey, msbelle. That sounds nuts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, that's a big aargh, msbelle.
I have wee aarghs, like the apparent welt on my forehead, the fact that I itch all over and am horribly flushed.
On the up side, I have water.

Not on me, no.
God stupid damn. After this status meeting, I think I'm going to bolt. Or nap again.

I just realized no one has asked me to do any work today. Good thing I have a trip to plan and a Teppy to insult.

Anyone have advice on how to really nail a thank-you e-mail? I think I did well at my interview this afternoon, and would like to follow it up gracefully.

I usually say something like, "After speaking with you today, I'm even more convinced that my skills are the right match for your needs," but better written. I'm also not afraid to suck up and talk about how awesome it was to meet them and see the inside of their company or whatever.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Saying you really liked the company and the people there, and you sincerely hope to get the job is never ungraceful, particularly when it's true!
Note that it's been 9+ years since I looked for a job, but even so I still think it's good advice.
