Bwuh?
Yay! No work today!
Instead I'm doing more job applications and preparing for next week's conference. For free! (And I also got my tooth drilled! Boo! And it turns out my computer is heavily infected with crap! Boo squared! But![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scribefigaro, who is not only handsome, talented, and brilliant, is also a computer genius who is fixing it for me! Yay cubed!)
In other news, I'm really confused. While the online application process of most colleges actually makes things a lot cheaper (no need for postage, envelopes, etc.), I'm running into some snags.
I've come across more than one place with an online application process that asks that I "attach letters of recommendation."
Um, no?
Those aren't things that my letter writers give to me. Those are things they give directly to you. They consider them private, and while I'm sure they're all glowing (*shines fingernails on shirt*), my letter writers would prefer I not know what's in them. Give me email address or links to sites they can post it themselves that I can give them, instead.
So now I have emails out to a couple of different hr departments asking what I should do because what they're asking for is a big old breech of letter writing etiquette.
Weird.
