Nice, especially the rejection letters. Most of us will probably never be world renowned leaders of our fields but just on the off chance those suckers are worth keeping so that they can be used when people figure out how to turn shadenfreude into clean energy.

Since I'm about 90 minutes from Indianapolis, I'm planning on making a trip sooner or later.

I just realized I have never gotten a rejection letter, only rejection emails.

(I think it probably would have been good for me to get some, but I am SO AWESOME.)

I was always kind of glad when I got rejection emails back from jobs, because that meant they at least looked at my resume and stuff.
