ChiKat, I think if they said yesterday, it would be ok to contact them today. Don't take my word for it, though. What do others think? Job~ma for you.

connie, I hope the next few days are not as bad as you think they are going to be. Get well soon.

Yay, Sparky and baby!

What a pain in the ass, Barb.

Go, Nora! Interview~ma for you.

Thanks for the ~ma, I think it went fine. It was a phone screen, so it was only about 15 minutes but I think I did pretty well, I definitely communicated what I wanted to.

Question: since it was only a 15 minute phone screen, is it too much to send a thank you note (interoffice, she'll get it tomorrow) or will an email do?

I'd think an e-mail would do, but I don't think a thank you note would be bad if you really want to send one. When we were interviewing candidates, I usually only got an e-mail from the candidate afterward, and that was for more than a 15-minute phone screen!

The new nephew has been named Zachary. I can't wait to meet him.

(((Connie))) What an awful week. Feel better.

Hey Sparky! ::waves northward::

I just went out and cold-solicited door prizes for a work event I'm organizing! Go me! Now off to do the dreaded reviews. Argh.

Hippo birdies, Sean!

Nora, is this another job at the school, or someplace else?

At the very least I have a reason to saunter (stagger) around work with my cool cobalt-glass-ball-and-snakes-and-skull-headed cane. Hubby keeps promising to take two inches off the end so it's the proper length, but oh well.

Canes can also be used for a judicious thwapping, when necessary. Being too long is a problem for walking, but it does give you a little extra reach.

I like this name. It has a certain breeziness to it.
