Maybe we should team up! And...be unemployable!

We should totally team up! And...um...write about being unemployable! And then proofread it!

The nasty truth is, I'm sick of editing. I no longer care about the Oxford comma, nor do I care if the sentences are elegant and concise. I'm still holding firm on correct spelling and subject/verb agreement, and sentences should totally have a period at the end, but that's about all the give-a-shit I've got left, anymore.

Hooray, Amy! Burble away.

Hec, jeez. Scary, very scary.

So, what is vertical writing? Because I still have no idea.

Also, that Hillary .gif was kick ass.

Also, Hec, yikes! Very disturbing!!

Man, Hec, that is awful! Also, I think of it as one of the "safer" BART stations: it's hardly West Oakland or Fruitvale (ironically the station I use the most frequently).

I totally missed the setup for the ten hundred words discussion yesterday, if that wasn't already obvious.

Sweet cuppin' cakes, Hec, that's horrible and scary. I'm so glad the kids are (mostly) okay.

In other news, I'm having a hell of a day.

I'm an hour late to work because I spent some time on Facebook this morning.

My work computer is broken again.

And I was on FB this morning because I woke up to learn that an online friend of more than a decade died in her sleep this week. She was, at most, 37. (Dana, Shrift--if you hadn't heard, it was Sabine, from YV.)

Fuck this day.

Oh, Consuela. I'm so sorry.

So, what is vertical writing? Because I still have no idea.

It's not vertical writing, really. A "vertical" is just a content area, as Jesse and Jessica said. It's a stupid buzzword, too!

So when he asked what vertical you were most comfortable writing, were you supposed to answer with a measurement (like, inches)?

Sometimes disability-rights people call ABs verticals...imagine my confusion.

Holy shit, Suela. I saw your FB post but didn't know the real name connection.
