I knew I could count on my librarian peeps!

Aims, normally I'd just go with it, but this professor is notorious for being a stickler on pretty much every single damned detail. She frightens me.

Here's the official word - no ibid. "Within a paragraph, you need not include the year in subsequent references to a study so long as the study cannot be confused with other studies cited in the article."

Their example: "In a recent study of reaction times, Walker (2000) described the method ... Walker also found"

If you have citations with multiple authors, the following apply:
2 authors - always include both names
3, 4, 5 authors - cite all authors the first time; in subsequent citations cite the first author and use et al.
6 or more authors - cite only the first name plus et al. in text, but include all names in the Reference list.

Awesome! Thanks, flea! I do cite two articles by the same author, so it seems I should include the year for all so that they aren't confused.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had one like that. Hated her.

Finally watched i Reaper last night. Damn, that was fun. Much better (sadly) than Chuck, which I may be over, despite my AB love.

Fred, that's awesome news for Teddy!

they work in different departments, their work does not require them to work together very much, certainly not daily. They eat lunch together everyday, IM pretty much constantly, stop by each others desks for chats min. of 5 times a day for 10-20 min at times. weird? friends? no big?

That sounds like Megan and me when we worked in the same dept. Except we chatted in person not very much. (Maybe not even once a day.) and we ate lunch and took morning break together.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Because our life is so hectic right now, we've been eating at McDonald's a lot. Life four or five times a week. We go to the same one near our house.

They NEVER get an order right. Not a single time. Never. Ever.

Am I just completely naive to think that the success rate should be a *little* higher?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ah, but will you say that when you win McDonald's Monopoly?
