Yes, that's right, readers... two posts in 24 hours. You know that you've been snowed in for too long when 1) checking the mail for your mis-mailed W2 form is one of the most exciting parts of your day and 2) when your W2 form doesn't come and doesn't come and doesn't come, you start checking out what other people got in the mail as you ride in the elevator with them.
Tonight the elevator was full and the young man next to me received an envelope from Columbia University's SIPA (School of International and Public Affairs). I imagine this envelope was from SIPA's admissions office and this young man was about to receive exciting news. Good news or bad news, he was getting answers tonight. (The envelope was thick enough that it wasn't just a "hey, we're still thinking and we'll get back to you" letter.) I found myself wanting him to open the letter in the elevator (I probably would have), and I wanted to share in his respective joy or sadness.
Yes, readers, not only am I a creepy facebook stalker (another story for another day), I also read other people's mail in the elevator. Good thing school has started again.
