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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha!

I do like a thank-you note, I admit it. Although I would not send one regarding a work potluck.

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

A work potluck she didn't even attend! And this is only one of like six I've gotten from her for various reasons.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's a good idea.
