Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.

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.
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.
Bah. For some reason I woke up incredibly irritable today. It's like I feel all brittle...
Today the bus driver was 5 minutes late. Not the bus - it was sitting there at the station with the doors closed. The driver was off in the CTA equivalent of a teachers' lounge, I guess.
Anyway, it was only five minutes. But stuff like that is just irritating me terribly today....
If I were I meeting invitee, even to another company's meeting, there are very few instances in which I'd give extra weight to extra paper.
