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.

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.

ok, hivemind question here. What is the best way to sort classical music CD's? My first instinct is by composer (Bach, Brahms, Dvorak, etc). But then I have some artists, like Yo Yo Ma, and I don't want them scattered around. So do I blow convention with those? Or do I say "who cares, I'm usually listening thru iTunes"? Curious what those that are more classically music orientated do?

Best? Best would be whatever allows you to find what you're looking for.

Mine are primarily organized by composer, then generally by the size of the piece (symphonies, concertos, etc.), then, within that, it's chronological. This surprises no one I'm sure.

If I have something by Yo Yo Ma, but he's playing all Beethoven, I would put it with the Beethoven. But I do have a section of CDs at the tail end of my collection that are artist/instrument focused.

I would sort them according to how you think of them. If you have the London Symphony Orchestra playing Beethoven, do you think "I want to hear the LSO" or do you think "I feel like hearing Beethoven's 5th"

Jilli, if you don't see this link in Natter:

I paid for 1 monster taco and got two. I suppose this means I have to eat them both. No taunting the taco fairies.

I have booked the movers. The move date is May 16th! And I have booked an oil company to deliver oil this week so that we will have hot water to clean the place up before the move.

Weirdest. Earworm. Ever.

I have, at this very moment, the goofy, funky music that Emeline's TOY LAPTOP plays during its "move the blurry cursor 'mouse' through a maze to a block of blurry pixel 'cheese'" game.

I may have gone insane.

I may have gone insane.

"May have"?? Weren't you already there??

FYI, if you keep that Batter Blaster stuff in the fridge for two months past the Best By date the Blasting becomes nonoperational. Possibly as a safety feature.
