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.
I know I've worked with a wide group of people over my almost 22 years at my company. But I continue to boggle when someone I don't know refers someone else to me. And says "Suzi is a wiz at xxxxx". Ummmm, thank you, but I don't know you so how the heck to you know my skill set?
Sue - meeting~ma to you.
Interview ~ma, Scrappy!
Hivemind: on Monday, as part of a job interview, I have to give a very short (5-7 minute) presentation on grantwriting for novices. What springs to mind is to use the metaphor or applying for a job, since many of the same factors are in play (finding a good fit between the granting agency and your project, the need to respond specifically and explicitly to the granting agency's criteria in the application, the need for good writing with no distracting mistakes). Is it a bad idea to use this metaphor since I am, in fact, applying for a job while making my presentation?
Good luck, Scrappy. I'm sure you'll wow all of them.
Oh and congrats on the retail therapy, Consuela. You've more than earned a splurge.
If that old guy had slapped me as a little kid and called me a cripple, he'd probably have to be scared for his life.(I think that would make my mother ferocious and have turned the debate to Vengeance: How far is too far?
flea, I think the metaphor is fine other than it's almost not a metaphor. But yeah, def the first that springs to mind.
No, I don't think it is a bad metaphor. It is probably better than using a "dating metaphor" which I have seen used in grantwriting presentations.
I would keep the metaphor light with some humor. That will probably win the day.

Thanks, Burrell! I admit I woke up thinking, "WTF! I spent more on those shoes than on my last pair of skis!" They are, however, really beautiful. I hope they're as comfortable as they claim...

Yeah, that.
YAY shoes! You totally deserve them, Consuela.
