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."

Er, where does NY seltzer come from?
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.

Emily, go get ready. You've only got an hour now!

They have that in SF, I am told. It's probably a little hard to arrange for when you're just visiting, though.
