this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Everyone, however, might *not* need to get a snail. Prognoses are a little unclear on that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Snail denier. Anti-snailer.

Snails for some, miniature flags for others!

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

I see my doctor next week; I'll try to remember to get a flu shot then. She'll probably remind me.

Jesse, I was told that cover letters need to tell a story of something you've accomplished and how it relates to the hiring company. This seems unnecessary.

I was also told to track down the name of the hiring person and address the cover letter specifically to her. This seems stalker-y, especially since it really seems like they've deliberately removed her name from the website and the email. I don't think I'll follow this piece of advice.

What is even happening?

Chris had a physical today. It was a non-event, because if he didn't have Crohn's Disease, he'd be very healthy.

He'd already gotten his flu shot while we were at the gastroenterologist's appointment last month, but we stopped by CVS and I got mine. I'd successfully nagged the rest of the family into it, and hadn't taken the time to get my own yet.

Hey Sophia, I will also suggest pacing yourself to some degree, because this is likely to be a long-term project. I know you've seen this, but: >[link]

The following (from Jesse's link above) is me, and not just where emails etc. are concerned. There's some perfectionist tendencies at the root of it.

The guilt I feel causes me to avoid the issue further, which only leads to more guilt and more procrastination.

And every time I rip off the bandaid and face up to it, and get through it, I feel better, so I don't know why I still let it happen, but I do. I can remember doing it in my 7th grade science class, for cry-yi-yi.

Dana's totally a shill for Big Pseudo(pod)!

Yeah, in today's doxx-happy climate, that seems like a level of cyber-digging that might not be appreciated.
