Is it a sales pitch meeting wherein you are trying to earn their business?

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.

* Alternatively, I might give them a number that I had inadvertently mistyped. That might still be the rage talking, though.

I may or may not have neglected to change my home phone number when I moved. They have never had my cell number. (and they never will)

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 would say overkill, but what business are you in? for something like PR, I could see it maybe. Or if the meeting is a sales pitch.

Ay, the Manolo's blog has earwormed me with the Macarena.

Also, there is SNOW on the GROUND. WHAT THE HELL.

On the plus side, one of my coworkers brought in doughnuts.

If you were getting married and your spouse decided to re-enact a scene from Superman II with his friends during the ceremony, and your spouse didn't tell you ahead of time, would you be mad?

The Superman Wedding Video Is So Awkward, It’s Awesome

“Wow, thank you, Superman, for saving us from Zod. Now… it’s time to cut the cake.” HA! Between cringes, I keep hearing Jon Lovitz in my head, yelling, “ACTING!”

I haven't watched this yet. Someone tell us if this is as cringe-worthy as it sounds....

I would just suggest that she know her audience. There's that one NY foundation that is super obsessed with paper recycling, sending out award letters on backsides of previously used paper and such. Plus anything with a focus on environmrntal issues - things like that should only get an email - sending them unnecceary paper notes could strike them wrong.

would you be mad

Fuck yeah.

I know them! Ha! I remember scouring DC looking for recycled paper that looked recycled, to send them something on. Luckily, now there's email.

OK, but what do you think about job interviews? I generally do one or the other kind of note, depending, but never both.
