Thanks, Nora! That's a good spot. Would have been convenient for us when H was working at the end of the Causeway.

Hooray Kate and baby Jane and M. and Rose!!! YAY.

I had my first job interview in 16 years today. I think it went well. Or, at least, I'm going to try and keep myself from obsessing over whether it went well.

Question: post-interview follow-up notes, yea or nay? The Internet says yea, but I've been interviewing a lot of people lately, so speaking as someone on the other side of the table, IDGAF whether any of the candidates I've interviewed sends me a note or not. But I guess I should err on the side of, "It can't hurt."

Punishingly Intricate

Congratulations, Kate P!!! I also love the name Jane!

Good luck with all the move stuff, Shrift! I wonder what my old place, a 4-bedroom flat with garage space, in the Mission goes for now?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations Kate and family!

Good luck, amyth! I've never sent post-interview notes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a firm believer in thank-you notes, but also anyone I'm hiring is writing thank-you notes as part of their job.

I'm pretty sure I will do them, but I'm going to wait until the morning. Somehow, I managed to go without eating all day. Worst! I'm now experiencing full body meltdown. I'm going to eat and then crash before it gets dark out.

All those places look pretty terrific, shrift!

OK, self. Remember all those things you would rather have been doing than working? Time to get to it.

Congrats, Kate!

Sorry about the sucky day, Zen.

Amyth, I sent thank you notes, but I still spent nine months unemployed, so I don't know that they did any good.
