Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

That sort of reminds me that my dad picked up a book called Eats, Shoots, and Leaves. Now he wants me to whip up a picture of cats to accompany the bit about the difference between cats and commas.
Sorry to break your heart, Pops, but I haven't drawn in over two decades, and don't plan to for something that dumb and uninspired and I'm sure I can steal a ready-made cat macro for you on the subject. Wow, it's like you don't know me. I feel like a time capsule now, only a hundred pounds heavier.

So, I was interviewing someone for a tech writer position today and, when I asked his opinion of the Oxford comma, he responded "is that the comma with the dot over it?"
Call him back right now so we can make him define metonymy and alliteration! I'll make popcorn!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
In the ER with K-Bug. Her bronchitis hasn't gotten any better and today her left arm has been numb. So far they have drawn blood, run an ER and there are rumors of a chest xray. The doc didn't seem too concerned but wanted to rule stuff out. Poor kid has been coughing non-stop for the last week. She has finals this week...so there is also lots of free floating anxiety.

Oh, dag! I had to go look up metonymy!
This guy, though...When I asked why he was interested in the job he said someone told him he should look for a job at my company and he'd had one interview for a job he didn't get so, when he saw this job posted, he knew he should apply for it. Way to sell yourself, guy!
Of course, that's not as bad as the guy who is replacing my friend in a tech editor role (as she leaves to take an awesome new job). When she asked him to elaborate on something in his resume he said "my manager told me to say that on there that way." And they hired him anyway! (Against her and her manager's advice.)
