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.
smonster, I would say that it sounds a little casual if you don't know the guy. Of course, I'm pretty formal person and am easily turned off by people I think are too casual.
Maybe something like:
I just wanted to reaffirm my interest in the [specific name] position and inquire about the timeline for moving forward. In the mean time, I would appreciate the opportunity to review a position description if you have one available.
If I can provide any more information or you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I can be reached at [preferred method(s) of contact].
Thank you,
The awesome rocking smonster
Yeah, I like Vortex`s version.
brenda, that school sounds awesome.
Okay, see, WRT my email, part of the damn problem is that I don't know what the position is called. I've had it described to me by a friend who's just been hired by them part time in the design field - I just texted her to see if she knows. It's not up on their website. My friend's new boss contacted *me* for my resume b/c two people had mentioned me, but she's not the one who would hire and supervise. Apparently they are interested in talking to me, but I haven't heard from them - they're slammed trying to get a new project rolling.
I have stuff I could pull from emails I sent to J, but if she's been forwarding them I don't want to repeat myself. Hmm, lemme try again. What sounds unassertive? The "if it would be easy" part?
eta and once again Vortex is the bomb.
Apropos of nothing, I really wish I hadn`t let myself get talked out of the tankless water heater. I really hate listening to the water heater fire up after I shower to heat and hold that giant tank of water when I know damn well we aren`t going to use any significant amount of hot water until tomorrow.
eta: yeah, that`s the bit I meant, and Vortex`s version still says that, but I like her verbiage better.
smonster, I don't think they go until the end of the month.
Go you, Liese! I suspect I am more a cautionary tale than an example, in any case. And it is all about what makes you feel good. Excess apparently works for me. Which surprises me not at all.
Hee. Well, I feel sore. But also good; yay endorphins.
smonster, I know what you mean. But I'm talking Dr. Bronner's here so I'm pretty confident it passes the test for watering the lawn.
Applying ice to my stuff. Arms are burning so bad it feels like tissue is dying from lack of circulation.
ita, I can't remember whether you're a Mac or PC person. You can get MacSpeech Dictate if you're Mac and Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Windows. Dictate is a much better program than Mac users have had access to for many years. Also, there is a DragonDictate app for free (last I checked) for iPhone/iPod Touch. I tested it a wee bit and it's pretty accurate. If you regularly get whatever process is making your hand hurt/blow up, it might not be bad to start training those programs now (says the person who is also resistant to using speech recognition although she really needs not to type).
