If it makes you feel any better: Not only is my account overdrawn, but just last week I was explaining to someone else how EASY it is to manage a B of A account with on line bill pay.
Not overdrawn, but just had to pay an extra $39 to BofA because I completely forgot to pay my credit card bill last month. I had the money, and just forgot to go click a couple of buttons. And, um, just recently told a friend how I hadn't had any troubles getting my BofA credit card paid on time since I gave in to the dark side and started using their online bill pay. Oops.
Note to Buffistas: if you don't want the BofA curse: don't go telling anyone else how easy it is to use on-line bill pay!
Is anybody else reading Neil Gaiman's blog this week? It's Maddie Guest Week, and it's killing me ded.
Shit I Didn't Say:
Yes, all of your suggestions are fantastic! And I bet most of them are things I would have done if there had ever been any TIME for a proper developmental editing pass! But there never is, is there?
Why yes, I'm out of my check-in meeting. It went better than others I've had, mostly because I'm practicing my not caring.
THEN having to explain to her (AGAIN!!!) that the page count has to be divisible by four and WHY
You could have handed her the odd pages and some tape. (I've had the same discussion many times. You can multiply the fun by 16 or 32 if you're on a web press. Then you get to explain over and over why going down four pages will cost money, not save money.)

Your not caring looks particularly fetching today. Has it gained ennui?

Ah, good times, good times.

I'll go you one better: incompetent!boss makes up a report every month with a tally of our year-to-date cumulative page count. So (for instance), if the January issue was pages 1-200, just guess what he puts on his report?
....wait for it....
That's right, 199! No matter how many times we've told him that it is literally impossible to have an odd number of pages, he still calculates the total page count by subtracting the starting page number from the final page number.
There's a reason I've dubbed him "incompetent!boss."
Oooh, give him a one-page report! Pages 1-1...
That's right, 199!
Ask him how many days there are in the date range of July 1 to July 10. Then if he says 9, ask him how many days in the range from July 1 to July 2.
Oooh, give him a one-page report! Pages 1-1...
In the form of a Moebius strip.
