Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Jesse, if it's just going to a general mailbox, it's likely going to a person like me. Resend it and say that you found a typo, would it be alright to replace the cover letter with the corrected one?

A me will laugh, replace it, and think you're awesome.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Actually, that sounds like a good idea. It could make you memorable in the right way

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The OMG-WTF Spectrum

This spectrum (I take it) is supposed to classify Internet memes by whether they provoke OMG or WTF reactions by netizens — and all gradations in between. Bacon vodka, for example would be OMG, whereas human-eating robots would be WTF.

I just tried on a shirt that never did button (I wore it over a tank) and it totally buttons now, so I stepped on the scale. I lost another 5+lbs on the trip. I really need to work regular exercise into my routine! I like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure it went straight to the guy I called "Ms." in the address block....

I just sent off two resumes, one with a typo in the cover letter. AWESOME.

I think my letter for this (editing) job had a typo. You never know.

ETA: Okay, "Ms." not so great.

Was it to Ms. Chanandler Bong?

Oops. Well, you can still correct, you know.

I think someone kidnapped my introvert. I'm actually looking forward to inviting people over for drinks on the deck some day this week after work. Even work peoples. Normally the idea of work peoples in my house makes me scream. And I miss my UK travelling companions. Hmph.
