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.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Just do it! They don't have to be well-written.

"You rock. We appreciate it."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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?

This is a post from Serious Eats letting people know that a member of their community has died. (I don't know this person and was just curious what the thread was about.) But the embedded picture made me laugh so hard! Even though it's still sad. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jesse, that's awesome.

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.
Wow, that is hardcore.
