Fuck five. I'd pick ten. Seven at least.
I think I'm going to drug myself and fall asleep watching Life On Mars.
The waking world is just making me tense.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ita, i hope the sleeping world treats you better than the waking world has today. I'm sending good, pain-free thoughts your way.

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
Does anyone want to call Kinkos and get my book postcard thingies produced? Overwhelmed.
Publicity department screwed it all up and now I have to get them done so I'll have something for the wondercon thing.
My head is too full to accomplish much more than washing my face before bed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Ugh. Today was a rough one - we had one day to not only proof an entire book but also make any digital changes needed and send the files to the printer. And Intermediate Boss, who is far and away our most perfectionist set of eyes, happened to have today free to look for errors. Which she found. Boy did she find them.
In the end it makes for far fewer mistakes, but I really wish her free day to take a look had fallen early last week when we were copyediting the thing in-house, I had plenty of time to make changes, and doing so wouldn't have cost us any money.
On the bright side I'm now home, well fed, and once again driving my own good-as-new car.

Has anyone actually gotten any use out of an insurance nurse/health coach? I'm beginning to think they're rudimentary AIs sitting in front of WebMD.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I can do it, Allyson. I'm well-versed in getting postcards published and dealing with Kinko's. Want to e me the details?

I just called and it's so ridiculously expensive I can't afford it, Juliana. I'm so grrrr at the publicity department right now that my teeth are vibrating from the rage.

Hmmmm. Okay, that sucks.
An (cheap, not as pretty, but better than nothing) alternative would be to print B&W 2- or 4-to-a-page flyer-type things and hand them out. Not as professional, but it would help get the word out?
Tell me if I'm not helping, by the way.

I'm thinking color copies would be much cheaper, in a flyer, Juliana. Yup yup.
Mostly, I'd love to do stickers, to tell the truth.

How much are Avery stickers at Staples, and do you have access to a color printer? If not, I do, and I could FedEx or courier them (is the con this weekend?).
Flyers are good. Not ideal, but good.
