Jesse, that's awesome.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Amy, I'll trade you. Playing in spreadsheets is fun. yes, i know I'm warped.
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.

reminds me of the joke from the Sugarbaker brother on Designing Women - DO you know why Junior League women hate group sex? All the Thank you notes.
Ha!
I do like a thank-you note, I admit it. Although I would not send one regarding a work potluck.
A work potluck she didn't even attend! And this is only one of like six I've gotten from her for various reasons.
One of my grad school classmates really liked handwritten notes. Like, any time I did the slightest favor for him -- the sort of thing where anybody else would just say "Thanks, I appreciate it," -- he'd write a thank-you note. I once told him about an article I'd read in the New Yorker, and he said it sounded interesting, so I emailed the link to him, and he wrote me a note telling me what he thought about the article.
ION, I just got an email from KIVA that I had a balance and could lend again. Turns out from a few gift cards and a couple of donations, I have made deposits of $110. From that I have loaned over $600! so cool. Turns out I have no invited anyone into Kiva though, so if anyone has wanted to do it and would like an invite (I do not think you need one to participate and I do not get anything from you joinging from my invite), let me know.
Also, it kinda makes me wanna start a B.org recycling loan thingy. I wonder if we could manage that?
Umph. So I went into work this morning and took a decongestant to deal with this mild post nasal drip I've had for a couple days. 2 hours, a blinding headache and spasm-y coughing later, I went home and was passed out in bed by 10. I know I got up once to pee (and I resented the hell out of that) but other than that, didn't wake up until 4.
Umph. OTOH, no more coughing or headache.

That's a good idea.
