Andi, I'd be lying if I didn't admit to a little anticipatory schadenfreude.
erika, I have no idea. I hope your day gets better.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Awesome news, smonster.
I've been with SIL all morning. Labor, for the record, not much fun. Best guess is about 4pm. Negasi will be my new nephew's name.

It's probably a weather thing, really, but the timing is terrible. It's hard not to feel like I'm in the "Cox Cable Job" only without a Hardison.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Negasi is a princely name. May his entry into this world be safe and not terribly prolonged.

erika you have my sympathies about the cable service. I'm not sorry we aren't paying for it here.

It had been fairly decent, then we bought "the bundle" and now it isn't.

Yay, smonster! It sounds like it will be a better place to work without said project "manager."
It's above my knowledge base, I think. We'll see.
They're looking for an editor, not a subject matter expert. What editors can do is make sure the sentences have all their parts and the parts agree. They can also look for occasions when the writer says, "As mentioned above, widget A..." and there's no previous mention. I don't think it hurts to indicate that you think some portion needs clarification from the author.
Go, baby, go!

Ginger said what I was trying to say, only better. And I'm sure it's all less awful in the light of day and with less headache. :)

It's not the cable, so much as...where's all the special treatment people think I get that makes me such a sweet, simple, soul(of course I totally fail at that too.)
