I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Help! In a breezy, informal newsletter, I want to include the following phrase:

Think about the problems you solved, the resources you discovered and the strategies you developed...

but I'm pretty sure it should be "you've" not "you". The problem is "you've" sounds weird to me - would using "you" be completely and irrevocably wrong or could I get away with it in this context?

It kind of depends on the time period you're talking about, lcat.

"Think about the problems you have solved, the resources you have...." implies an extended period of time, while "the problems you solved..." implies a more specific period, like "the problems you solved this week" or "the problems you solved at the seminar."

Compassionately intolerant

Man. Ginger is really good at this!

That logic makes perfect sense and I would never have though of it.

Nice one.

My favorite micro-breaks are much too macro and involve television. That, and chasing Bartleby around the house with a squeaky toy.

It seems I am always working or thinking about working...much more of the latter than is good for me.

Breaks?

Thanks for the explanation. It was one of those situations where I knew what should be done but couldn't figure out why and, as Bonnie said, your explanation makes sense and will help me remember it next time.

Erin, don't be surprised if I contact you soonishly and give you monies on my aunt's behalf, because she needs to find a job and kind of desperately needs your resume magic.

No lie, I am kind of excited to support a Buffista AND help my family at the same time.

De nada, shrift. Happy to help you and your aunt out.
