Although most days, I stick to Blinc Kiss Me, because it is easier to remove.

I know it's not a drugstore brand but I don't use anything but Blinc's Kiss Me now. So great!

Do I send one thank you to all three interviewers or one to each of the three interviewers?

I'd send one to each. I did that once and the one woman was overwhelmed. She said she'd never been thanked after an interview before! WTF, people?! I didn't get the job (they made the position more junior than fit my salary requirements and experience) but I'll never forget that.

Suzi, will those just be things the new owner has to deal with, or do you have to fix 'em?

Every time my department is hiring and we conduct interviews, I note who writes thank-you notes. It's about one in ten. I always do. One to each person, usually.

Do you send thank-you notes via e-mail? Or snail mail? It's been so long since I've interviewed for a job (13 years), I have no idea what protocol is these days. Back then, it was snail mail only.

Huh. It's been exactly 12 years for me....

I don't remember if I snail mailed my thank-you note or faxed it....

I either email or snail mail. Sometimes I have been interviewed by a panel and didn't catch everyone's names, so I send one thank you note to the head person, and ask them to pass on my thanks.

I just got the greenlight to start work on a new project for Griffith Observatory.

Does it involve Sal Mineo?

Or a chickie-run?

Do you send thank-you notes via e-mail?

Last year when I interviewed for the job I mentioned above and for the job I ended up taking I just emailed.

I usually email in order to strike while the iron is hot.

I typically hand-write thank yous in the lobby of the building and drop in the closest post office box, which usually means they get them the very next day. I've gotten jobs because of my thank you notes, so I won't be e-mailing any time soon. I find that a personal hand-written note goes a LONG way and can make the difference between two good candidates.

I don't know. Am meeting with the real estate agent on Saturday to review the reports and come up with the plan. I don't have the cash to do the roof, which kills me since once we sell the house I would have the cash, but I probably need the roof fixed in order to sell the house and pop goes the weasle.

I have a feeling we might do the smaller stuff, so just the list isn't overwhelming, but even then - I have limited resources and have been holding onto them in case the house doesn't sell and I have to pay mortgage and rent. But if I don't spend the cash now it might not sell and back on the merry go round we go.

Can I say how much I HATE this?
