I hate sending mass emails on a summer Friday. I always get 20 out of office replies and I DON'T CARE PEOPLE.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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

meara, maybe you could work that into your cover letter, or if you manage to get someone from HR on the phone?
Yeah, I may try. And I'll try to explain (like ChiKat says) that working at a small company, I have more experience than my title warrants. But not sure how to say "if you don't like me for this, any chance you'd want to create a lower position just for me pretty please?" I don't want to start out with "I'm looking for a Senior (MyJob) position, or a (MyJob) Manager position", and make it sound like I didn't even read their posting...urgh.
Have I mentioned I hate job hunting??
And this shit is the sorta thing the recruiter is SUPPOSED to do, but he said no one there is calling him back. Sigh.

Okay, I swear. I'll stop obsessing now.
Dude, your first book is appearing on various good-selling lists. I'd be taking out ads in Variety yelling "So there!" in 50-point type.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Genius. I will say my parents and I liked Ratatouille, but didn't think kids would be into it, but apparently they are. Who knew?

I think may that's something you'd want to broach only after they tell you they don't think you're senior enough for the job they have? I dunno. I hate job searching, too.
Here's a word of the day some folks here may appreciate:
apatheism n. the attitude of not caring about religion or whether there is a God. [link]

Well, but if they don't think I'm senior enough, they probably won't call me and SAY that. They just won't call, y'know?

Yeah, I kind of thought of that, but then remembered all the times I got called in for an interview only to have them tell me they weren't considering me for the job I had applied for, but a lower one. Of course, that only happened when I was trying to move to New York, so the interview required 8 hours on the bus.

True, true, Jesse.
Of course, this job is in Seattle, so we'll see. In any case, the first step would be a phone interview.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, and some crazy chick is demanding pictures, too.
pfft.
