Seems okay to me. I dunno, you might want to stick in a line about "I am confident my skills will be a great asset to you", or similar bootlicking.

Also you should obtain 47th tome of Lenins works, it is especially heartwarming.

We're all Russian at heart.
Deep inside of us all is a Russian. And inside that Russian is a smaller Russian. And inside that Russian....  :P

I didn't think it sounded snarky at all. I'd send it. Worst-case, you *still* don't get the position. So, same result as currently.

Had a situation like that a couple years ago. If it ever happens to me again, I'll keep that Azithromycin stuff in mind. The way I felt then, I would have traded it for severe bowel trauma.

Some caveats

- Azithromycin is not the first line standard antibiotic in empyrical management of sinusitis.

- Azithromycin is not OTC

- Azithromycin is expensive without a national healthcare service prescription or equivalent. A quick google shows a retail price of around twentysomething bucks a pill

- Yadda yadda allergies adverse effects whatnot. You know the drill. Consult your GP before doing stuff.

More annoyed than sad, but I'm getting a constant crash in DF right now if I try to trade with the caravan. Can avoid the crash if I don't trade, but I really want the stuff. So it's skip stuff or skip playing this fortress until the bug is fixed.

Posted a bug report, though, since it is at least reproducible for me and seems to be a fairly common crash on the bug tracker. Hopefully Toady will fix it soon.

Noted. Thank you.


I agree. The only thing is, this woman and I should hopefully have repeat transactions because she's a major recruiter. All the same, it's kind of sad. That said, you still think I should?

Eh, as we know, I've had some career setbacks from people being jerks, but I'm hoping she doesn't kill me for this.

In other news, things are so bad in Ukraine that they almost elected Darth Vader. Sure he was 15th out of 42, but imagine candidates 16-42 who were worse than literally a proudly evil overlord. Over 25K signatures. Things must be going well there....

So I tried to show a friend how dull my knife is and dragged the blade across my finger (as I've done before) and it cut right open.... So I had to drive home with a tissue wrapped around my left infect finger tip

Well, at least it cuts now....That sucks.  Hope it heals quickly and doesn't catch anything.

It's not too deep of a cut, should be mostly closed by tomorrow morning but hurt like all heck scrubbing in the shower
Thank you
