I have wee aarghs, like the apparent welt on my forehead, the fact that I itch all over and am horribly flushed.
Do you have benedryl, by any chance?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
ION, I just found an awesome website: How to say the names of public figures: [link]

'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.

In general, I realized it's good to gush (reasonably and honestly) after I hired someone basically because she wanted the job the most, of the equally-qualified candidates. And she's still in the job five years later, because she loves it.

In random news, I have a teensy crush on the Cash Cab guy, and I would also like at least on of the NYistas to catch the Cash Cab, because it would totally be a clean sweep.

I've just recently fallen in love with that show (caught it regularly on my week off some time back), and that cabbie/host is so obviously having fun with his fares/contestants. Discovery Times had an evening marathon of Cash Cab eps last month, and they included the ep in which some Irish journalists got in the cab, were surprised by the flashing lights, took pics with their professional cameras, and then left without playing!

I'd thank them for their time/the opportunity to talk, call out something specific to the interview so the letter's not generic, and tell them how much you look forward to the chance to work/deal/interact with them again.
