I think a hand-written note might be nice for a high level job, and one of those interviews where you're there all day and have lunch and blah blah, but for anything else I think email would be okay. I'm amazed I remembered to do it.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

I have a colleague - not an applicant! - who is in the habit of handwritten thank you notes. Like, I mentioned to her that we were having a potluck in our group (which she had been hoping to join) and that she should stop by if she was around. She didn't make the potluck but I got a fancy engraved cardstock thank you via interoffice mail the next day.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Don't even TALK about handwritten thank-yous. I have a pile just staring at me, for the wedding. And since I'm still technically unemployed (the AMA job doesn't start until mid-October), I have no problem writing them all, since Tim is working.
It's just a daunting pile. But I'd like to get them done before we leave for the honeymoon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just do it! They don't have to be well-written.

Steph, the only way to get them done (for me anyway) is do five at a time. Five today, five tomorrow, five the next day, etc. Or three! Just pick a number.

"Dear Wedding Guest,
"You rock. We appreciate it."

Seriously, just say "We appreciate the XX" for non-cash gifts, and you're done.

In other news, whoever decided to have me work on a spreadsheet today needs to take a long, hard look at their choices. There's a reason I wanted to make up shit for a living.

Yay, they're laying insulation in the damaged walls right behind me. I wonder why I have a headache? And not even the workers have protective masks. Macho bullshit or someone who doesn't dare to request safety equipment? Heaven knows.

I would really like to go home and work in my yard. Can anyone make that happen?
