I just don't want the Editorial Office's inability to find an email to reflect poorly on the job I'm doing. If they really can't see that I sent an email, they're going to think I'm ignoring that part of the job. But I'm not.
I need to start cc-ing my coordinator when I send those emails.
Slightly related, I'm coming unglued because a FB friend INSISTS that this sentence, in an email from her child's English teacher, is ungrammatical: "I too am dedicated to Jay getting the best experience out of this year." The icing on the cake is that the hill she wants to die on is that the sentence is in the passive voice. IT LITERALLY SAYS "I AM". That is NOT passive construction.
But I need to stop fighting that battle. She even knows what I do for a living and is still insisting that it's passive voice.
t edit
Update: she just declared huffily that she was being "ironic", and she's deleting the post. So...she doesn't understand the passive voice OR irony.
Congrats, Tommyrot!
Well I don't want to count my chickens while the eggs are all in one basket, but thanks.
I called my contact at the recruiting company (it was her boss who sent me the email) and she said she's pretty sure the company I'd work at is putting together an offer right now, but she wants to confirm that. She understood why I didn't want to commit to a start date until then.
Aw, poor Mr. Tennys looked like he had a chance at a huge upset, but it's not going well for him now.
Nice Offer~ma, Tom!
Giving Tino Ronnie the stink eye.
Well, the cardiac cath this morning lasted about 3 seconds. Way too much blockage. Triple bypass tomorrow morning at 6 AM. So ya know, keep the heart~ma flowing.
Oof, Laura.
I forgot to get quarters for the lockers and they don't let you bring out bags during open swim, & since I don't wanna leave my keys lying out on the deck, not swimming tonight. But I'll go out & get quarters now.....
He really is a great candidate for the surgery. Other than his cholesterol he has no health issues. Ideal weight, hasn't smoked in 40 years, no diabetes or any other complicating factors. He was very physically active until this clogged artery stuff hit him. So even though any 80 year old doesn't look forward to a 5 hour surgery, he is in pretty good shape to withstand it.
That all sounds promising, Laura.
Sara, wouldn't the lifeguard or someone keep your keys? I mean, because it's you?
This is the city pool. I'm normally only a weekend swimmer there, so probably only a handful of guards even recognize me!
Fingers crossed for a good offer, tommyrot!

Well, that's good news. Surgery~ma.
I am very dubious about Mr. Tennys Sandgren's hair and facial hair choices.
My goodness, that is very Tennessee.
