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.

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

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?!

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.
