This afternoon I got told by our head IT woman that some disks I asked her about two weeks ago aren't lost; she just needs to find them.
Head, meet desk.
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.

WATCH OUT!
This is what I'm saying.
At least now I have yummy pseudo chicken souvlaki for dinner.
Ok, it's a pretty stupid thing to say. But the power's out, you don't know what's going on, they're presumably evacuating the building, and Al Qaeda was on the tv this morning making noise about LA...I can see where your mind goes there. Maybe you don't want to be gabbing it up for reporters, or making a big deal about your Seven Flights of Stairs, though.
When we had that blackout a couple of years ago, it was hours before I realized it wasn't just my building, or even my block -- it wasn't until it occured to me to plug in a non-cordless phone, and got a voicemail from a friend in California.
OK you know what? I hate to say this, but I think it's just my UPS guy I should hate. Although being on hold for 20 minutes just now was nearly as bad as living through the Blitz in London, I tell you what.
WhatEV. My DVR remote still hasn't come and so I haven't been able to watch anything I've recorded for, like, five days.
Now I know what the invasion of the Mongol Hordes must have felt like.
I wonder if Time Warner would send me a new remote. Owen's been hard at work picking off pieces of ours and it's not working as well as it used to.
OMG bon, now you know real suffering. I'm so sorry. {{{bon bon}}}
OK, next editing question:
The Epidemiology MS and PhD programs were revised to require electives from among University courses relating to the biologic, physical, or social/behavioral factors that affect health.
My brain wants to make that past perfect -- have been revised -- instead of past tense. The thinking is that this work has been completed and, well, it sounds cooler. Am I being anal?
Apparently we can stop by the office on 23rd tomorrow to pick one up. Until then,
(((((((((((me)))))))))))
I'm not sure I can answer that without more of the context. If it's something like a newsletter, I think you're right.
