Erin, thank you. Just let me know how much I need to send you.
Onerous task: reading up on how to do subcutaneous fluid injections on cats. (Guess who has decided to stop drinking water, and is showing very little interest in food? ARgh.)
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Good Lord. We have an author yelling at us for publishing the incorrect city for his job affiliation. We pulled the galley, and indeed, what we published is what he specifically corrected on the author galley. IOW, we did exactly what he told us to, and now he's yelling about it. He gave us the wrong damn city and expected us to...be telepathic?
My suggestion was to e-mail him a copy of the file he sent us, with that section highlighted, and to ask him exactly what part of HIS correction is the problem.
No one takes my suggestions OR lets me talk to authors. Because I escalate.

and they took a stock photo of a plate of ribs and photoshopped the bones out.
I'm sorry some people feel their world is all askew, but that's really funny.
Nothing I make ever looks like the picture, except cakes.
I'm working on my taxes too. I've been avoiding them because I know I owe a lot. Taxes (and health insurance) are the two worst things about self employment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My suggestion was to e-mail him a copy of the file he sent us, with that section highlighted, and to ask him exactly what part of HIS correction is the problem.
That's what I'd do. Only, you know, translated into passive-aggressive corporate bullshitspeak.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The internet is so weird. Since we put our new fancy dancy welcome to the 90's web form mailing list signup up, we got two new subscriptions, one from Morocco and one from the Ukraine. Who in the Ukraine is fascinated with music lessons for Navajo kids?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
state and fed taxes are done, but I cannot efile, and now must gather more documents before I can mail in. That will be tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Got my end table cleared off. That does not appear to be where my tax papers are hiding. Taking a break before continuing.
That "touch each piece of paper once" strategy is not ever going to work for me. I am too indecisive.

I'd end up carrying around a lot of paper.
