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.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I do not envy her the day that her son finds out about that essay.
And it strikes me as on the creepy side, too, ita !.
