I am off today, attempting to apply for jobs that I feel ambivalent about and therefore am doing a half-assed job with my applications. I feel underqualified for one, overqualified for the other, and unlikely to get either. Meh.
OTOH, either job would be so much better than my current one. Need a new job so badly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
When I get my federal refund, it's going to 4 things: paying off last month's car repairs, staining the new fence, a trip to Vegas, and a dog.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like that list, Lee.
I don't like ita's list.
Can you divide it up, Consuela, half splurge and half conservative?
If anyone's still interested in the Pope, his name, and being a Jesuit, here's a quick piece by Colbert Nation chaplain Jim Martin.
Awesome, I thought I'd have to wait another week before I got the official Colbert Nation reaction to the new pope (not that I have read that piece yet, but I assume it will fill that hole for me)

I envy people with tax refunds.

Okay, applying for a job via email...
The text of the email is my cover letter? Do I also attached a copy of the cover letter? Or do I not use the text of the email as my cover letter, and essentially write a cover letter to the cover letter?
So, so confused.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've done it both ways, depending on how conservative I was trying to be -- if I attach a cover letter, I just say, "Please find my application attached" or whatever in the body of the email.
