I've got no idea at all about what/who's appropriate for email vs. handwritten. Susan? Robin? Others?
I've seen a lot of sources that say handwritten is best because it's personal, but for my last several job searches I've used email. IME the interview/decision part of filling a position moves quickly--it can take forever to evaluate resumes and set up interviews, and sometimes the HR part of making an offer can be kinda glacial too. But if you want to make an impression on the person who just interviewed you, IMHO it pays to move fast. And I know when I'm on the receiving end, I don't care one way or another.
but the burrito place next door to Cupcake is awesome (having never lived in California, I say this). Huge burritos; great salads - a diablo sauce that takes your head off. Still, no cupcakes.
There are some pretty sassy things in that store, and occasionally a really amazing sale. good shoes.
Good to hear, Susan! I know I talked to my recruiter yesterday and she said they were having a "pow wow" today regarding me, so I definitely figure it does move fast!
I mailed handwritten (fairly brief--on little thank you cards) ones from the airport to the head of the department and his boss, figuring they were really the decision makers. Those should hopefully get there today (it was after mail pickup when I got to the airport). And then emailed everyone together, today (before they were in the office). That would be the other problem of having an interview with ten or fifteen people!

I think mailing cards quickly is one of your super powers!!!
The key to thank you notes is to buy small ones. That way, saying a little looks like a lot.

I totally agree!!

Hee! Now if only I could mail BILLS quickly...(thank god for online banking bill pay!)
There's actually the potential for me to be able to play next weekend, but the 8th and 9th are definitely not possible.
So, by next weekend do you mean the 1st & 2nd? Just making sure we're on the same page, ND.
I'm gonna go look at this buffet [link] after work today. I'm gonna see if she'll take $40 cash for it and I'll take it off her hands tonight.
I'm thinking we can use it as a tv stand.

Sing it, sister. I always buy tiny ones.
juliana is a hot motorcycle mama.
Aims, that buffet looks great!
Drum roll, please... Shoe post! I bought these for school since I knew I had to do a lot of walking and hoped to look sugar doing it. They are flats that are made kinda like tennis shoes and they are indeed comfy: [link] Side: [link]
Bonus sleeping kitty shot: [link] I sent this to GF yesterday with the caption "wish you were here! love, jojo" as she is sleeping on GF's pillow.
Also, I have my third phone call today at noon with that company that contacted me through LinkedIn. Eep.
Aims, those front legs may not be made for the weight of a TV. Just food for thought.
