Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

Snail denier. Anti-snailer.

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.

I don't know from cover letters but that seems like a lot of effort? Might help you stand out from the crowd, I suppose, but not necessarily, um, necessary.

Punishingly Intricate

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

It seems pretty reasonable to me. And I wish I saw it more in letters we get. Just a couple of sentences! (I know that's not easy to write, though.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Definitely don't do that one! But yeah, the other one would probably result in a top-tier cover letter.
