Today began a frenzy of job applications. After one scam on craigslist, some painful moments composing cover letters, and a long walk during which I lamented the potential end of my time working (mostly) at home, I was reminded of an acrostic I wrote in college:
Every time a person
Asks me
To work harder I
Mention that
Even god needed a day off.
On that note, “I fancy I shall apply my skills mightily,” has no place in a professional cover letter, but if it did, I would totally want that job.
