Er, where does NY seltzer come from?
And I still haven't written my cover letter.

I don't mind multitasking or self-supervising or handling difficult people or anything; I'm just kinda burned out on doing all that for never quite enough money to get by.
This is me, even down to taking my current job so's I can help people. Well that and being treated like crap by some of our clients or partners.
Memo: Me saying "no" is not being rude.

Note to self: when typing in word, you don't actually have to put the html code to make italics.

That is why Word is so boring.

Hell, I've done that when writing with pen and paper.

This is what results in people saying "LOL" out loud, of course. We must be ever-militant!
Also, I've slid over the line from "Hi, here's my resume, I want a job" into a several-page philosophy of education and why I'm a perfect fit. I really hate finding that line.

You had to code things like bold and italic in WordStar and I think in the first version of Word. When I started learning HTML, I thought, "Wait, I've done this before, back when 256K was thought of as a really big harddrive."

It comes from the Catskills. Lots of good things come from the Catskills! Like, uhm, Shecky Green.

I used to do some typesetting for my mother, way back when. I thought putting all the right codes in in the right places (I think some of them had to be, like, one space from the beginning of the line) was SO COOL.
Okay, so my cover letter is a little meatier than the usual "Hi, here's my resume," but... eh, what the hell. The whole cover letter thing's such a stupid hoop to jump through, anyway. What, they're going to say, "Huh. Look at this cover letter. So clearly not quite what we had in mind! Let's not even look at her resume"? Sending now, so I can go get ready!
That only took me two hours.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Emily, go get ready. You've only got an hour now!
