So, my "letter of application" for a job was FIVE single-spaced pages. I included my resume (CV) in addition.
I think it best that I don't respond to the length of cover letter question.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Because books.
I suddenly feel so much better about my job.
Right? I mean, I get squicked if a dog tries to hump my leg.

There's also the job of "chick sexer" ... less fun than it sounds - it's trying to figure out which gender baby chicks are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I asked him what ethnicity macaroni and cheese is from, and he said, "American."
I think I'm going to have to agree with him here. "American," when it's used to include mac and cheese but not include tacos or knishes, is an ethnicity. It's not necessarily an ethnicity in the sense that you can say that specific people are part of it and other people aren't, but it's definitely a culture in the sense of having food, music, social norms, and so on.

Mike Rowe worked as a chick sexer on his show once...he thought it was funnier than the boss did.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
All other things being equal, "chick sexer" looks way better on a business card.

I think maybe I don't understand the difference between ethnicity and nationality, then. I thought ethnicity was more than just shared geographical boundaries. And not all people who live in the US have a shared cultural and ancestral heritage of Kraft dinner.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I want this couch: Knobbly foam sphere furniture
Each piece in the Mutation series is made from foam spheres, cut so they fit together, attached to a frame and coated in rubber or flocked. De Ceulaer’s work is also on show at the Triennale di Milano and as part of IN Residence at Ventura Lambrate.

That's what I'm saying -- that the group of people who do have a cultural heritage of mac and cheese (and hamburgers, etc.) ARE a cultural group. "American" might not be the best name for them, since it also means a bunch of other things, but it is a culture just as much as any other culture.
