Today I finished and sent off two official letters and a private one. One of the official letters goes to the health insurance and had a form attached which took about an hour to fill out. The other one was just a few lines to the landlord. The private one I mention because it goes to a distant acquaintance, so it was less of a casual matter and I had been redacting it for some days before I put it in its envelope today.
All the letters will reach their respective recipients within a reasonable timeframe, neither past some "deadline" nor early as to come off overambitious or needy.
Often it feels like it is just as much work to avoid this kind of task as to actually do it.
read police so it rhymes with ice - as in 'lice'
