Two practical questions

1. I recently sent out a business-related email with an attachment, basically hitting up an acquaintance for a job. He didn't respond. Someone here suggested that his system might have deleted my email, mistaking it for spam because of the attachment. So I'm thinking I should email again to see if he received it. However, I don't want to pester him if he did get it and is contemplating it quietly.

How long does one usually wait for a response before e-mailing again to say, "Did you get my first email?" This is not a writing submission, but about teaching writing.

2. Does anyone know why LJ is saying I'm posting in the afternoon when it's actually morning? I checked my computer time, and it's correct. Could I still be in the dream?

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Or am I a clown who dreamed she was a writer?

I'd wait 1-2 weeks, depending on how long I'd known the person.
