Minor surgery ~ma, Theodosia!
I just filed for unemployment (the state makes you wait until your severance period's over). There are two jobs that are supposed to get back to me in the next couple of weeks with a final decision, and it may take that long for my claim to process. But I figure that not filing will guarantee neither position will come through, so I filled out the forms. NC's system is surprisingly non-awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know! That's why I was hoping for Actual Lori in the video.

Okay. I think I most caught back up. I'm still packing up my classroom (file under work that is a DRAG) and I'm ready to go. But alas, I cannot yet. I" am no good at waiting.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Some authors make me want to scream. (Apologies to all people here who have published or will publish in academia; I'm sure you respect your editors or at the very least follow the instructions they give you. If so, congratulations! You are not the authors I'm talking about!)
We don't send authors the edited Word docs, because if they make changes, we can't know they tracked everything, and then we'd have to compare their version with our version line by line. So we send them a PDF.
I have an author who asked for the Word doc, and when we said no, you need to work with the PDF, emailed back with "Good news! I converted the PDF to a Word document! I will re-convert it back to a PDF before I submit it!"
STOP IT, EVIL HAND.

Nope, not good news. Crazy-making news. Argh.
