If a job application is going to an HR department, how bad is it to address the cover letter to "sir or madam"? Do I have an alternative? I think it's weird to call them up just to ask who to address it to, when they don't put the name in the job announcement.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been thinking about getting a netbook. For conferences and job interviews and stuff, there are going to be a bunch of times that I'll need to carry a computer around all day, and I figure it would be easier with a lighter laptop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think it's terrible. I'm generally applying for jobs at small places, so will just address it to the CEO, but that could be weird at a big place.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That would be okay, or "To Whom It May Concern."

Hivemind question: Joe is convinced that tonight's dinner (really yummy chicken posole) must cool before it goes in the fridge. I think I've heard this before, but it makes no sense to me. Either way it cools; why would the rate of cooling matter?
(look, I'm using a semi-colon while talking about practical applications of mathy stuff. I feel like such a buffista.)

I would keep something hot out of the fridge so I don't warm up the fridge itself, and make it work extra hard to keep cool. There might be a minimal food safety benefit to cooling it faster by putting it in the fridge, though.

It warms up everything else in the fridge.

Oh, well that seems sort of obvious. It's funny because I've asked him before why he does that and he has never really had an answer.

I love mine. I would go for the longest battery life you can get, cause it would be even greater if I did not feel compelled to drag the charger around rather than leaving it somewhere, since the charger weights more than my netbook and battery combined.
