So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If bon bon's around, she (and everyone else) can see the variety of shooting vests on Revenge here.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

(The surface endorsement was the worst, because all of a sudden there are multiple tablets on the show, up from zero, and they're all MS. Also? EMAIL??? WTF??? I love email!)

The Windows product placement on Arrow cracks my shit up. It's so aggressive.

On the female FCM, I am one with le nubian.

Not sure if I've heard LDB, but probably have. DW has an iPod filled with Christmas songs (we're big fans). My fave is her Indie Holiday playlist. Filled with goodness from New Pornographers, Sufjan Stevens, The Raveonettes, Elliot Smith, X, and more. Love it!

Check out this job listing for a couple of entry-level publishing interns: [link]

The Press is looking for promising candidates with an appropriate background who: have already demonstrated a strong interest in literary publishing; are very well read in literature in general and Dalkey Archive books in particular; are highly motivated and ambitious; are determined to have a career in publishing and will sacrifice to make that career happen; are willing to start off at a low-level salary and work their way upwards; possess multi-dimensional skills that will be applied to work at the Press; look forward to undergoing a rigorous and challenging probationary period either as an intern or employee; want to work at Dalkey Archive Press doing whatever is required of them to make the Press succeed; do not have any other commitments (personal or professional) that will interfere with their work at the Press (family obligations, writing, involvement with other organizations, degrees to be finished, holidays to be taken, weddings to attend in Rio, etc.); know how to act and behave in a professional office environment with high standards of performance; and who have a commitment to excellence that can be demonstrated on a day-to-day basis. DO NOT APPLY IF ALL OF THE ABOVE DOES NOT DESCRIBE YOU.

Apparently if your house is broken into and the cops call, that will get you fired. What a splendid employer Dalkey Press must be.

There's a response that it was sort of a joke: [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I still don't see the "satirical edge", the demands are not exaggerated enough. I guess that is a fine line to try to walk.

The problem is that interns are abused enough already, in all sorts of environments (not just publishing, although publishing does seem to be among the worst); as -t says, this ad didn't go far enough to show it was satire.
