Ugh. And cover letters are the worst part.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Wigglebutts is the most perfectest term ever for your dogs.
It's descriptive!
Cover letters are indeed the worst.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yes, they are. I am just telling myself that what I wrote before was not that good and I can do better. I know the 1st paragraph and have already re-written it. also saved.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Don't forget to mention the part where you are the nicest.

They have to wait for an interview to get that bit of knowledge.

I am just telling myself that what I wrote before was not that good and I can do better.
My second and third iterations are always better.
Years ago, while working on one of those groovy lunchbox Macs, I lost a 20 page paper. In toto. No backup.
I lay down on the floor and wept.
Then I got up and re-envisioned the paper. In the end, it was much, much better and garnered the best grade in the class. I'd have loved to get that victory withOUT the frustration first.

I do love my boss, but I think sometimes she is not the clearest of communicators. She asked if I could do something without changing a link. I say not really because it's a search list and the keywords we set up show in the link.
There's a bit of (I feel) attitude about knowing how search works. Other coworker emails a new URL which is apparently awesome.
So I said I thought we didn't want to change the link and I get back, "No, but if the answer was we can't do it without changing it, I need a new one."
Dude, an effective way to get that? Ask for it. I thought stuff was already in the world using the original link and that it couldn't be changed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hate that term. It's hard for me to respect people who infantilize their pets. They aren't babies; they are adult cats, and they surely aren't *my* babies. I love my cats and enjoy their company; I take my responsibility for caring for them seriously; I will mourn them when they're gone. But they're cats, not humans. Hell, that's why I like them! If I'd wanted a baby, I'd've had a baby. If I wanted humans in my house, I'd have a live-in boyfriend/girlfriend or roommates.

Zen, you speak the truth and also you are cracking me up.

I have a couple of friends who use the term, but they're just sort of...that way.
