Aims, I hope you find a new job quick. We need you on the internet.
Yes, this.

Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Job search etiquette question:
I mailed in a resume about a week ago. The ad for the job didn't say "No calls". Is it taboo to call them and follow-up?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Aims, is there in e-mail address you could write to? Otherwise I would say probably not to call.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I would email follow up first, but I am phone hater woman. I think it is ok to call.
Nora, why do you need new windows? (And, yeah, good ones are $$$$$$$)
Have you looked into upgrading your storms?

There wasn't an email and it was just addressed to "Personnel".

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
We have no storms. Or screens. Which is the big reason- since we have no screens in our windows, what we do is put those little screens that you rest the sash on top of... Taz the cat would make short work of those if he put his mind to it. So we want to get some decent windows that have actual screens and are energy efficient (which ours are emphatically NOT).
Because the muntons (?? the pane dividers) are so expensive, whoever chose the windows during the condo conversion went way cheap for everything else.
It's something that we do want to do- the current windows suck beyond the telling of it- but it sure does cause sticker shock! There are some other temp solutions that we can probably employ to get around the screen problem, but I am thinking that it might be best to not spend (admittedly less) money on those when we can actually get a quality window in there.

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
I think you're fine to call.

not your mom's socks.
Another employer-relations question. I have a second contact at the company in question who said to send resume/experience... I've already direct-emailed the first contact (who emailed me over the weekend). It feels strange to contact the second person through LinkedIn, though I could do that.
yes. still overthinking this.

Compassionately intolerant
Aims, can you come up with a compelling question, or something you'd like to add to the info they have already?
This way, it won't seem like you are just calling to find out if they are interested. You can express your particular interest in an engaging way.
