A heavy heart, omnis? You're not telling her her grandmother just died. But other than that, it looks fine.
Yeah, that stood out to me too.
Well, she's trying to find a job in the arts in this economy. If she doesn't find one soon, she gets sent back to So. Korea.
Eep.
I don't know, omnis, that heavy heart line sounds a little like you would have hired her but were forced to go with another applicant against your own judgement. Which, if that's what you actually mean, is of course fine, but that's not the impression I was getting from your other posts.
OTOH, I'm trying to think of a way to say "I wish we could have hired you, too" that doesn't sound like that and not doing very well, so maybe that's okay.
Yeah, the heavy heart kinda makes it sound like "*I* wanted to hire you but the OTHER meanie weanies made me hire someone else!!!"
t edit: xpost with -t!
Ryan is currently rocking out to the dangly toys over his playmat. Occasional squeals of delight. You can see him just getting the inklings that with a bit of practice, he might be able to grab them. It doesn't get any better than this.

Well, there was some of that at one point, but then the #2 option got a *LOT* stronger as I called her references. And then it worked out that the team I hired have all worked together before, and enjoy being a team together, so that was super duper bonus. But ya, she was my top applicant for awhile.
That's understanable, omnis. I'm thankful every single day that I make a livable wage doing this (most of the time).
But it doesn't read right. It's a little over the top.

I dunno. I don't have to change the diapers on Mario Kart.
I dunno billytea, I think you're gonna adore pretty much every phase with that kid.
For him or you?
Right now - no distinction.
