Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Amy, if you print this out and tack it up on her office door when she's away, will she know it was you? [link]

Because books.

I work at home, so that's not really an option. I did ask her to "bear with me" later in the same email exchange, though.

If any Bay Area people are looking for a publishing job, Harper needs an admin in their SF office.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

omg TODAY.

eye dr. appt this morning ran 45 minutes late. making me 1 hour late for work. As soon as I realized I would be late, I emailed everyone in the office. I did not email my boss as he is in NE. Apparently I am to email him first, so I am in his bad graces.

Then I wrote down an order for tomorrow on today's date on our weekly schedule, so trucks and equipment at the wrong site and angry contractor. UGH. my mistake, clear as day.

I also had forgotten about getting mac to school on time since I had a dr. appt (I actually thought that the appt might only be 30 min long, but no), so had to last minute call my parents and have them get him from the dr. office and to school.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Kat and Lee, I am both so sorry.

If any Bay Area people are looking for a publishing job, Harper needs an admin in their SF office.

Not looking so much, but I wonder what the compensation is for that?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I did ask her to "bear with me" later in the same email exchange, though.

Attagirl!

I just realised I left home without checking email. Hnnrgh. I left home because I am punishing myself, not because there is any good reason for me to be in the office, but still.

Because books.

For that position, I would say ... $30K? Publishing is usually underpaid. I could be way off, though.
