On Friday I wrote a thank-you letter to the guy who interviewed me on Wednesday morning.  I don't know if it was the fist such follow-up note I've ever written, but if I've done one before, I can't recall it.  Follow-up letters are one of those things that sort of slipped me by.  Like, every one else seems to know about them, but I only know of them at all because of osmosis.  No one ever really explained it to me, so the etiquette is still not entirely clear.  I was home on Friday afternoon, though, and the idea popped into my head.  "Hey, don't people sometimes write to interviewers and thank them?  Yeah, I've heard that somewhere."  So I asked the internet, which was modestly helpful.  I wrote something short, and polite, and reflecting my keen interest.  Even if I never hear back from the guy, I still feel right saying thank you.
