what? it's true. [link]

So the only things now with the closing are 1) waiting! 2) getting together the $9K I have to pay the buyer in concessions.

Shockingly, I know, I don't have $9K sitting around. I am pooling the savings accounts, but I bet I'll have to go to the parents. hate.

Yay for msbelle! Yay for votey people! Yay for me; I just swam two laps more than I intended. Note how I am not like sara swimming a mile longer than intended. But I swam every day for the past three, even with school schedule. So I think this will work, as long as the weather holds out. I am down six pounds overall from when I started changing diet and exercise, which is not a huge loss, but puts me under the last plateau, and thus the lowest I`ve weighed in a few years. And my fat percentage is down two percent according to my (wildly inaccurate I`m sure) body fat scale. But more importantly, I feel more comfortable and stronger in the water, which I will appreciate next year when I buy my kayak.
 
However, my body would also like to inform me that it is very tired. And I still have peaches to tackle.

go Liese!

Cool, msbelle.

Hand is still large. Going back for more icing.

I'm pretty sure I'll be back at work tomorrow no matter what the size. I may be cursing at my keyboard though, like now.

Okay, here's the draft - subject line "Position Inquiry."

Dude's name;

I understand that J has forwarded my resume to you. I just wanted to reaffirm my interest in the position and to ask what your timeline looks like for moving forward. In the meanwhile, if it would be easy to send me a position description I'd appreciate the chance to look it over.

Regards, Moi

Yay? Nay?

I would reference your contact in the subject line so it doesn`t look like it`s just generic. And you might assertivify the language a bit. But it seems like a pretty good follow up.

I agree with Liese about referencing your contact more specifically, and would add to reference the actual position (so, the community manager position, or the materials reuse coordinator position, or wharves, rather than just the position). The more specific, the more it jogs memory and the less it looks like it could be just some random recruiterspam.

Whatevs. Not wharves. I am endlessly amused by the autocorrections of this iPad (although nothing will ever ever beat its suggestion of "worrier" for "épéeist". And it does charmingly know to capitalize WTF.)

into even more harmful chemicals. /not a chemist

Maybe not, but you're still my go to source.

Did I link here to this awesome school I went to a fundraiser for recently? [link] It's a public charter school that aside from some really strong academics (they're an IB prep school, and showing really good results three years in) "extends beyond a solid academic foundation. Organic, nutritionally balanced meals, daily yoga, gardening, wellness instruction and ecologically sustainable practices throughout the school encourage learners to develop healthy and sustainable lifestyles for themselves."

I am now uncontrollably rolling my eyes at Entertainment Tonight's attempt to make a scandal about Jets players undressing in front of a female sportscaster/bikini model from Mexico and thus making her uncomfortable. In their locker room after a game.

No more b.org for me during the day. I like my coworkers, but man, this job is full of bureaucratic bullshit.
