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.
The idea isn't always to worry about how many you get crossed off.
Yeah, I was mostly bemoaning the crazy which has visited. Most weeks have not been this nuts. Frankly, I'd be twitching in a ball right now if I hadn't started up this week. I'm pretty close as it is.
I used to do this back in college. I still have the old notebooks somewhere, which can be interesting (though often deadly dull) to revisit.
And then you want to kill something and spend the rest of the evening drinking moodily at the (cash) bar.
Or maybe you spend the rest of the night in fascinating conversation and fall in love and live happily ever after?! Signed, A. Romantic
(also my friend's mom & step-dad got together that way!)
Huh. It's a weird day for Toms. A former coworker just emailed me wanting to set me up on a blind date with her sister.
A while back I got an email from a girl who was one of my two best friends from third grade until we drifted apart in high school. I sent her a very newsy talky email. She sends me email forwards. One or two a day. No matter how many times I mark them as spam they still keep showing up in my inbox. Sometimes the past is better left in the past.
I know of what you speak. I got back in touch with my BFF from 8th grade. She was on her second husband, who had spina bifida, she lived in West Virginia, and was horribly lonely. She would email or IM me several times a day. I finally blocked her on IM and then her husband started IMing me!!!! I am SO GLAD I never gave her my email address.
A guy I work with is marrying a girl he went to school with from kindergarten up to 10 grade. They lost touch for many years, ran into each other at some alumni get together and now are very happily engaged.
I went to a job fair yesterday at my alma mater and am sending off a follow-up resume. This is just the email that goes with it. Any thoughts before I send it off would be appreciated:
Dear Ms. M_____,
It was a pleasure getting to speak with you yesterday at the ____ Career Fair. I very much appreciate your insights on my desire to change career paths.
Attached please see the requested electronic version of my resume.
Kindly let me know if there is any further information I can provide.
Best regards,
Trudy Booth
Thanks, guys!

You never know. My father was engaged to someone when he was 24 and she was 17. 50 or so years later (and after my mom died), he ran into her sister at a reunion and decided to get in touch. They married soon after.

Exactly the edits I would have made.
