Truly, the life of an editor is glamorus.
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Tell him it's a test for the writers, Teppy. It's carefully designed to see whether they have sufficient attention to detail.

The one time I helped a friend out on a rush editing job she had, it was for a really interesting book--a translation of a book on the history of the bossa nova. I learned all about the guy who wrote "Girl from Ipanema".

In an overheard conversation, someone just "charmed" in. . . . It's a memoir about ... how much this guy thinks we should all believe in God, and REJECT SATAN.
Well, the first step would probably be knocking off the charms and other spell-casting.

Oh, like those NBC ads. I hope it was with a glockenspiel. Xylophones are so passe.

Oh my god. Big!Boss made one of the assistants go down to our storage space and root through boxes and boxes of galleys going back to last year, because no one knows exactly when the Horrible Misspelled Guidelines were written, so we don't know which month it would have been filed with.
Our storage area? Is a section of the underground parking garage, delineated by thick concrete walls, with a chain-link fence "door." It's been in the 40s and 50s for over a week, and she has to dig through those boxes in an unheated concrete room in an underground parking garage.
For one goddamn misspelled word.
(No wonder everyone hates our department.)

ION, the Obama admininstration has told the DOJ to leave state-licensed medical marijuana sellers alone:
thanks for sharing this, Jess. My brother works for the Marijuana Policy Project and this is huge for them. (obviously, but still really cool to me)

Ok, now I'm curious... What is dry drunk behavior?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Wait - the guidelines are a least a year old and no one caught it and now someone is in an unheated garage trying to find it.
Who Cares? Fix it and go on .
Not that I could do teppy's job, but I'd end up being fired because of a bad attitude.
The Blame game is stupid. Figuring out where to put blame, doesn't actually fix the problem
