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.

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.
Incompetent!Boss spoke with the author (it really was a comedy of errors -- every phone number we had for him was wrong, which is hilarious, since he gave us the wrong city for his own job), and told him we could make the change (we CAN, it's just a pain, since the issue went to press yesterday), and then Incompetent!Boss pointed out that we were just using the info the author gave us.
Well done, I!B. Well done.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.)
Oh, dear. If there's any good news, sub-Q fluid is not that onerous if the cat is reasonably cooperative, especially if someone's available to hold the cat. (Helpful hint you probably won't find in the book: If you have a free hand, squeeze the bag once the fluid flow has started. It's a harmless way to get fluid into cat faster.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
About 75 pages of the edit done. I'm going to have some healthy salad (potluck at work today), do up as many more pages as I can while I finish it, and make the call. Then the dread resume. Onerosity ahoy.
Yay for April 18! That's fantastic news.
ION, according to the Geek Zodiac I am a spy. Lame, lame, lame. The only sadder thing would have been astronaut. I could just cry over not being a time-traveler.
eta: ITA with Fred Pete. I've sub-Q'd a couple of my dad's cats from time to time. Usually a cat that needs it isn't feeling that great already, so sometimes it's not much of a struggle at all - they're feeling crummy already, they just want to sit still and be cuddled. And it never seemed to hurt them, as long as I went for the thick loose skin at the back of the neck (also, getting the fluids definitely made them feel better, so once they worked out that JZ+bag+needle=I feel like a proper CAT again, they were pretty cooperative).

You were a time traveler, but it turned out you were just too awesome to exist, so you went back in time and made sure you were a spy instead.

Pete will be holding the cat, as I am the one who has NO needle squick. And Tzepesh is the most mellow cat on earth, so I figure he won't cause me too much trouble. All the tutorials I've looked at online seem pretty straightforward, thank goodness.
