Did these people go to college? Minimizing words pp was half of writing papers. But it's generally 1000 words=5 double spaced pages.
Mighty fine shindig.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

TNR 12-point? 950 is nuts.
I know! And the pages don't look cramped! And they use headlines and pictures!
But I've asked all the People Who Ought To Know, so I guess I just need to shut up and drink the kool-aid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
LJ, what margins -- if any -- does your boss use? b/c I just did a test page of Times New Roman 12 point, and got 573 words.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If you find out about the magic font after you drink the Kool-Aid, try to break conditioning and tell us about it.

You know, I think that's the difference. It's definitely way less than a full inch on three sides, maybe even less than half an inch. So maybe all involved are not insane.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff."
What's weird is that's not how I pronounce WTF in my head. It's closer to "Wha-t'fuh?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's weird is that's not how I pronounce WTF in my head. It's closer to "Wha-t'fuh?"
Freaky. That's how my head pronounces it too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course that's how you pronounce it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I left my previous job to freelance upon the birth of a child in 2004, and that I'm now seeking a return to full-time work
I completely understand your rationale for saying it, but this may cause red flags for some employers...kids mean having to take time off for illness, etc. Of course, do you really want to work for the employers it does cause red flags?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm more a "what-uff" person, myself.
I just overheard the oddest work-related discussion in the break room. I think they were applying some sort of Principle of Relativity to the truth of a co-worker's statement about something in a project. All about fluid, or fixed in time and space, and frames of reference for his reliability -- tres weird.
I ratted out the co-worker that won't play nice. It's weird, because he's higher up than I am, in a different group of the organisation. But I can't keep stringing along the people that need the info.
