this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Aaaand, she quit.
Are you terribly surprised? She sounded sketchy from the get-go.

Both are good things that I am looking forward to.

Better that she quit now, when you have less invested in her. Any way you can convert the intern to paid status?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Man, I always feel silly printing out a pdf so I can sign it, scan it, and e-mail the scan back.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
According to this article link Colbert will not be doing The Late Show in character and we can look forward to 8 more months of The Colbert Report.
I'm okay with both of those things.

I'm having kale salad with deviled duck eggs for lunch. I have a feeling that might be amusing to someone in some way, but I can't remember why...

That is exactly what my newest freelance gig is going to have me do: they email me PDFs of articles, I print them, mark my changes by hand, scan the marked-up articles, save them as PDFs, and email them back.
Yes, this is in a world in which Adobe Acrobat has a sticky-notes function with which I could note my changes. I don't even. (But they're paying me more than the AMA, including paying me for the time to print out and then re-scan the articles, so I won't complain. Except for the part where it's wasteful as HELL.)

The whole article? Jeesh. I'm pretty sure my case is just that our IS dept (what everyone else calls IT, but we have a different dept. with those initials, so Information Systems is the term we use) hasn't gotten around to making it so we don't have to do that

Because books.
Except for the part where it's wasteful as HELL.
Wow, seriously.
When I think of the paper being saved in book publishing by doing everything electronically, it's impressive.
