I forgot to put on make-up this morning. Scared co-workers are cowering in corners. must grab back-up make-up at work and quickly get to a bathroom. yikes.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

msbelle, you have a charming and beautiful face. I doubt that it's true.
Work has my cell phone and they have input it into a system where I get automatic calls from the school itself and also from the superintendent et al. Annoying!
Then again, I barely answer my phone so not that annoying.
Tickets are now purchased for Seattle in February. YAY. They were $100 RT which seemed pretty good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Don't put makeup on today, and call in sick tomorrow! I may be a bad person....
Work has all of my phone numbers, but they don't use them inappropriately. Mostly. My boss did text me at 6pm on the Friday I was physically in the middle of moving, but I just didn't write back. Cell numbers get passed around when we're meeting up at 7am somewhere not our office, which happens several times a year.

Oh, here's a work-related poll question: After meetings (and she's said this is what she does for interviews), she likes to send an email and a paper thank-you note. The email says a formal note will follow. Is this good practice, or overkill?

I at least put on some foundation. I know my face looks ok, but I do not look like I normally look at work, not bad, just different. My eyes disappear.
I am working on day 3 of crankiness for no solid reason. It is bugging me and bringing me down and I keep trying to shake it and fake a better outward mood, but the crank is clinging.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sending paper after a meeting is tree killing, not just paper killing. I don't get it. An interview is an exceptional situation.

I do mean a fancy meeting with outside people, so more like an interview, but still.

Seems like overkill to me.
Today was supposed to be meeting hell and they keep getting cancelled. Which would be fine, but they keep trying to reschedule for monday, and I'm out then.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
For me it depends. Is it a sales pitch meeting wherein you are trying to earn their business? If so, then, no. I don't think it's overkill.

Kind of like that. I will try to stop rolling my eyes.
