Our wings are not tired.

If the situation is Gatorade or death, I have to think about it.

With ya. I have to have 10% Gatorade and 90% water.

Jess, if the email doesn't get too wordy I think the "I deserve this promotion and here's why" and ends with "in conclusion, promote me" is the best. Very far removed from corporate myself, so no expert at all.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I would say right out "I want to be considered for this position and here's why."

Eta, I'd stay away from words like deserve. Make it about how right you are for that role and why you'll excel.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh yeah, the meat of the email is all bullet points of Awesome Things I've Done Lately That Are Helping Us Make More Money. (It's not about what I want or deserve, it's about how promoting me will be good for the company.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good one, Jess. And good luck!

That George is one cutie.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am buying all the shoes. 5 pairs off 6pm and 1 pair off Zappos.

I'm watching FNL when I should be packing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

First run with zombie chases. Evaded one mob, caught 3 times. Presumably I will get better at that?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Generally, yes. I evaded 2 zombie hordes tonight. I am having issues with the app stalling out, which means I have to do bag management.

So, zombie runners - one version of the app is 3.99 and the other is 1.99. Is it really worth the 4 bucks? Right now I'm using MapMyRun just for tracking and listening to podcasts.
