Glad to hear it, Consuela!
Although it took me a minute to realize you weren't just contributing to the ongoing conversation in a cryptic and laconic fashion.

These 2 sentences mean the exact opposite, right?
"Please do not include a sentence about date of data analysis if the study was conducted 3 or more years ago."
"Please do not include a sentence about date of data analysis if the study was conducted within the last 3 years."
Because I feel like I'm going crazy here. (More editing guidelines being handed down. We were told sentence 1, and I just got feedback that I did it wrong, because sentence 2. BUT THEY'RE OPPOSITES.)

Idiots>assholes is weirdly reassuring, flea.
I don't know what to say about the other thing. Other than "how terrible!", which I will probably continue to repeat with great sincerity.

I will have to get regular biopsies, but that's better than major surgery.

I think those sentences are opposites, Teppy.

No sentences about date of data analysis! If you must reveal the Date That Must Not Be Spoken, for god's sake do it in a sentence fragment!

Okay. I feel less crazy.

Oooh, this.

Yay benign!!
Teppy - total opposites and I'd take it all to mean no sentences about dates. Period. Ever.

I'm going to laugh if there's another email tomorrow saying to go back to format #1.
I mean, I can follow rules. But I also read them literally because WORDS MEAN THINGS. You can't tell me I did rule #1 wrong by defining it as the exact opposite of what you originally said it was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear it, Consuela!
Never speak about dates, is what I'm getting there, Steph.
I was just having a crabby conversation at work -- apparently all of my friends in every department are burnt out today -- when everything turned around because there was Fresca in the vending machine!!!! I wonder if it's always been there and I just didn't notice?? I FLOVE FRESCA!!!
