Two practical questions

[rachelmanija]

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?

For me it depends on how well I know the person. If it's someone I've never met before, I'd probably wait at least two weeks. If it was a close acquaintance, I'd probably wait a couple of days. Pro rata for those in between.
