In news of me, they're drilling holes in my precious walls. But soon I will have the teevee, so it's a good thing.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I got up early so I could go get steak and eggs before breakfast. Nummy. But I'm hungry again.
Once it gets cooler I'll probably switch back to making oatmeal at home.

Okay, even if I had ever taught in a place that had someone who did this for me, I can't imagine ever asking them to do my own d*mn work!
I work at a school of nursing, and for accreditation purposes our syllabi have to conform to exact standards, which are published in the faculty handbook. I have one teacher who I can't even get to tell me how much she is counting each assignment (something that must be in the syllabus). Every time I ask her, she keeps sending me copies of the assignments! All I want to know is how much weight she is giving each one... is that too much to ask.
Ah well, off to blackboard!

Question for Research Studs:
I'm going to have endnotes in my book. What's the preferred citation style? This is not an academic text, but I should be consistent.

We have no hot water down here. Nor a microwave. And our refrigerator is currently in a box, disguised from building management while they sweep the entire skyscraper for rogue electronics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Our last apartment manager quit before they hired a new one. I'm not sure what to do with my October rent check.

Oh yes, I forgot you work in a cave. Maybe you can rub some sticks together, or use some flint to strike sparks?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What's the preferred citation style?
The real answer is "whatever the publisher asks for". But without any specific instructions, Chicago is probably a safe bet -- it's not tied to any specific academic discipline, and it tends to be more human-readable for lay audiences than some of the others.

This. Feel free to ask them to send the in-house style sheet as that will save everyone time.
