I have 3 letters of recommendation ready to go for a job i'm applying for. The place requires 5 recommendations. I have had to ask 2 people in the past 2 days if they would mind writing letters of recommendations as I had 3, but needed 2. Both said "just write something, and if I like it I'll sign it." Ugh. I hate that. I had that in high school with a teacher, and it was a good lesson, this happens pretty commonly. I just hate that in both cases I'm coming from the same sort of perspective and basically saying the same things, and don't feel the talent right now to differentiate them. Must do. But on one hand, come on, it's a recommendation, who reads those? But then again I feel annoyed because for this job they want a letter of introduction, a letter of intent, and a couple other documents. Is my writing style not going to be evident and it will sound like I wrote my letters of rec? Maybe I'm just overanalyzing and being overly anal because that's how I am. I guess it's a good exercise in creativity to use a different style for each, make each sound unique, and so on. I can do it. Off to play and then I'll come back refreshed. Maybe I'll dance around my room to this...

Ugh, letters of rec are soooo annoying. Especially when the person who's supposed to write your letter of rec asks you to write it for them. I don't know, that just sits uneasily with me.
It happens over there as well?! Oh God! It totally annoys me.....when I applied fr internship last year I had to write 2 of the 3 recommendation letters myself....totally irks me to the core!
