Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I like either the 2d or 3d choice, Vortex.

Erin rocks with the resume-revising. She redid mine from top to bottom and got me some interviews, which frankly, I didn't think I had a prayer of getting. I got compliments left and right. She's also redoing DH's. Trust me, we wouldn't drop that kind of cash just because she's a Buffista.

I'm thinking the concepts from #2 in the design from #3.

So, I think this is it

I like. Though do you have a non-fannish gmail address to use? I've heard people remark none too kindly on individuals still using aol addresses. The consensus (bullshit, of course) is that the person is stuck in the '90s technology-wise.

The cards were really a great tool for me. Spring for the heavier paper. It feels more substantial, and I think it reinforced my professionalism. Again, I may be talking ex-cloaca.

Ha! I use it because that's the professional address I've been using my whole life and I'm a rampant sentimentalist.

Our wings are not tired

I have to admit that I have exactly that bias, when I see someone with an AOL address I sort of assume that they are a bit of a technology luddite.

Yes, love, but you are a technology snob ;)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I dunno - it's definitely a big negative in tech-related fields, but I'm not sure the issue would be the same in higher ed. I'd check with people in your target field if you can (and I don't count, because I was a techie-type in my higher ed days)

Vortex, I don't know how good the image you linked to is, but you might want to think about making the type darker - contrast is a good thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was just coming to type--lose the AOL! GMail or vanity domain is it these days. And it has to be a serious vanity domain. Forward from GMail to AOL if you don't want to come out of that warm fuzzy place, but it is nothing but an upgrade to your image.

I have to agree. And forwarding is easy.
