Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The pagination is done manually

Whuzza? How? Whuzza?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Whuzza? How? Whuzza?

Pagination Elves.

I thought you'd hire Medieval monks to do it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We even got a cover spread color proof from the printer, and we all looked at it, and not one of us twigged to the fact that there was NOTHING ON THE SPINE.

Oh t NSFW comment !!!!!

as much as my innards are just so perpetually irritated that anything other than water is just adding to the irritation.

Dude, sometimes just water seems to bug mine. Also insent, Tep.

Because books.

Eighteen years ago I actually got a couple freelance jobs for a smaller publisher waxing pages onto boards, and trimming them so the facing pages had even numbers of lines. Even at the time I was like, Seriously?!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Whuzza? How? Whuzza?

As in, it's not automated. As in, I am the pagination elf. Putting in pages numbers, by hand, and keeping track on a logsheet that isn't integrated with the management software. A hundred papers a month, that have to be completed within six weeks from the time they hit my virtual desk. Aiee.

Had the second half of my interview today. Wish any two people would've given me the same answers. Wish I knew if, if offered the job, I should take it. ARGH.
