I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I somehow have lost an entire jar of pasta sauce.

I knew I should have ordered in.

Studio 60: 1) Why do we have to pile "burgeoning drug problem" onto "complete pants at complex relationship"? and 2) Seriously, did someone just dig up the "Now That's What I Call 2000" mix from the floor of their car for the tracks for this episode?

Totally can't look my cat in the eye now -- well, except to say, "Why didn't you kill it? WHY?!?!"

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I interviewed for a job almost a month ago and I haven't heard back. So, I wanted to send an email to smoke out the answer. What do you guys think of this?

"It's been awhile since we spoke so I'm assuming that you've hired someone else.

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to consider me. I enjoyed meeting you and hope all goes well for you.

Again, thank you for your time."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Honestly? It comes off a little snitty to me.

Also, and way more important - my current (new) job, which I lurve? Almost six weeks between first interview and call back. Total process was over four months, with me assuming I'd tanked it somehow during most of that. Some places move like lightning. Others, not so much.

Because books.

quester, I think I would shift it a little -- say something like, "I'm still exploring opportunities and wanted to inquire if the job is still available." If you didn't send a thank you note right after the interview, make this more of a thank you.

Oh, the Chow Chow was just on Westminster. So huggable. And now the Dalmation! I swear, I still want one I can name Perdita.

Quester,

Why don't you try being a bit more positive, just in case it hasn't been filled. I work for government, and there are times where it has taken almost that long for a position to be filled. (Then again there was the time I interviewed for a job at a place and they never responded to any of my inquiries about the position afterwards.)

What about something like:

I had an interview with you on {date} for the {blank} position, and I was wondering if you have made a final decision about filling the position.

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to consider me. I enjoyed meeting you and having the opportunity to talk to you about the position. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
