I was taught that the point of a thank you note is to get your name in front of them one more time. It’s a form of advertising; they might have done 5 interviews that day, 5 the previous day, and have 5 more scheduled for tomorrow.

The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.
