Oh, man, I use Track Changes all the time now. It's freaky shit.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, for all I love Track Changes, for the love of GOD accept changes before publishing your document to the intranet. I don't get people.

Oh, God yes. You save one document with the Track Changes on for your records, and then accept EVERYTHING so there's no trace of it left.

Unfortunately I must take this amusement to polish a document in which someone added changes in red and struck out and reddened replaced text...but not by using Track Changes. They formatted manually each time.

If any of my writers or PMs did that, I would never stop screaming. Ever.

Lee, try using aloe vera gel with lidocaine. It helps with the pain.
OMG yes. Katerina Bee turned me onto the aloe vera gel with lidocaine when she was visiting and I love the stuff. We found it at Walgreen's but I think Katie said it wasn't available in CA.

I had to explain to one of my writers that if we didn't accept or remove all the revision marks from a document, it would break the build, and then we wouldn't be able to meet our deadline, and that would be very very bad. I think the cheerful tone of voice I used while explaining this was what freaked the writer out the most.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

But not, it would seem, for me, since I was wearing it.

Everybody's free to wear (higher SPF) sunscreen.

Except for the bit where almost all sunblocks available in the U.S. aren't, y'know, photostable and lose their effectiveness after about an hour in direct sun.
