Hello.
I've recently been informed that people now hunt for new adjunct gigs by sending out their info via email, rather than on real, live, 3-dimensional paper.
It's been a while since I've had to do this, and I'm wondering if it's really true.
Thank you, fellow travelers.

Usually something like "Adjunct Inquiry."

Ah. Right.
Still seems kinda cheesy, though.

Think of all the paper you will save. Perhaps that will help you to feel better about this newfangled email thing.

All kinds of things happen via email these days. Last year, I even closed on my new house via email.

Just not, "Me? Really?" |

Correct, as usual, TZ. That's because you are not Dude. TZ, however, is Dude. TZ is my favorite. I wish YOU began with A. |

It's just that I don't especially like the idea of my letter popping up between a parking ban notice and an ad for penis enlargement devices. To each his own, I suppose. |

Dude, where have you been? Paper envelopes are museum displays, pens are rare and precious collectors items, and the last postal worker died in a retirement home in 2008, surrounded by loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Ha! In all seriousness, OP, you have heard that the USPS is hemorrhaging money, have you not? |

If you really object to email, you could always ride your pony down to the telegraphy office and contact them that way.

What is going to keep this from happening in snail mail? Besides, I never get penis enlargement advertisements in my campus mail. |
