I am applying for a serious grown-up job. Like, a real job that I could do and they would pay me well! Which, of course, is resulting in a strong desire to start creating shopping lists on Pinterest. I've done all the nitty gritty stuff and now I need to write the cover letter, which is really important for a job like this. Don' wanna.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Some of the best job-seeking advice I got was not to stress over the cover letter too too much, unless you know for a fact that it will be seen by the hiring manager.

4 hour mechanical delay in St. Louis. That's a huge percentage of a 41 hour trip. At least I'm home and laundry is getting done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG I am so tired. But good! My grandmother and I had a hilarious conversation on the ride home about how our family is so awesome.

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

Is there a general agreement about acceptable tones in NY Times Fashion and Style pieces that means this [link] is totally self-aware and not as creepy as it seems to my literal eyes?

That's from a few years back and, I think, was generally considered to be pretty creepy.

Although, NYTimes style pieces seem to have a problem with tone pretty often.

The Modern Love columns are very personal and often somewhat creepy.
