Australian cookbook FAIL:
An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cookbook after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of black pepper.
[eta: The whole thing would be a lot funnier if the publishers weren't being such defensive gits about it:
"We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind, and why anyone would be offended, we don't know," head of publishing Bob Sessions is quoted as saying by the Sydney newspaper.
"When it comes to the proof-reader, of course they should have picked it up, but proof-reading a cookbook is an extremely difficult task. I find that quite forgivable," Mr Sessions said.
Dude, you don't know why anyone would be offended? Really? I mean, obviously it wasn't an intentional typo, but REALLY?]
Nora and Tom, YAY! I'm so excited for you.
Congrats, Nora and Tom!
One of my coworkers is driving me nuts. She's going behind my back and doing things to the website that people are bitching to me about. Which is bad enough, but she's also not doing things that she's supposed to get done, which people are also coming to me to bitch about. She's not my subordinate! I have no control over what she does and doesn't do!
That is freaking awesome Nora! Congratulations to you and Tom. I envy you both.
Sophia, go to the clinic. You need to get better, and getting to your doctor doesn't sound too easy when you're sick.
Nora! That's awesome for you and Tom! Stressy, sure, but the kind of stress that will be exciting. Whoo, NO!
Whoot on more getting-to-Texas progress, msbelle!
Sophia, yeah, ambulatory care isn't giving up your doctor. Don't get caught up in loyalty issues here, except to your health.
ita is wise. Go tomorrow.
YAY Nora and Tom!!!!!!!! So excited for you both.
Yay Nora and Tom! What an exciting move!
I think I'm about to write a fan letter to a blogger, and I'm afraid it's going to be in ASSCAPS.
YAY NORA AND TOM!!!!!
even if you should be moving out here instead.
smonster, your turn!
Heh. Yeah, I need to get on that. Next step - resume. And once I get sorted, we'll work on my sis and my roomie and just maybe B.
