cover letters make Nastassja go "durrr..."

[tsukikage]

I decided not to go to the Starbuck's job fair after all, partly because I just wasn't feeling up to it, but also partly because I don't really want to work at a coffee shop anyway, especially one that doesn't really sell anything besides coffee (Caribou, on the other hand, might be an okay coffee place to work at).
Right now I'm trying to apply to jobs using the University's employment site, but so many of the jobs there require a cover letter, which make me just stare at the screen going "you want me to write something?". Laziness + zero writing ability = procrastination when I need to write things such as cover letters.

I wonder how much of a role perfectionism is playing here, although even if I determine that the main problem is I'm overwhelmed at the thought of having to write a "perfect" cover letter, simply acknowledging that fact doesn't really help me get over whatever perfectionism I may have.

What??

I thought you said you hate coffee...I am clearly mistaken as it is the nectar of the Gods and everyone loves coffee!!

j/k

Have you ever had what David likes to cal "foofoo" coffee?? That is coffee with other delicious stuff aside from things like cream and sugar in it?? Starbucks specializes in this type of coffee. I mean you can't not like things like a Caramel Frappuccino which doesn't taste like anything other than a frozen caramel treat.

You take a big mug of hot cocoa with a big mound of whipped cream on it. You add a drop of coffee from an eyedropper to it. I take a sip and spit it out.

Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit, but I haven't liked any of the "foofoo" stuff I've tried, either.
