not your mom's socks.

I thought it was an abomination

Correctly.

To me a Philly should be steak, cheese, grilled bell peppers, and onions if requested.

Steak, wiz, onions. Anything else is artisanal and not to be trusted.

Punishingly Intricate

Tomato, lettuce, and mayo on a "cheesesteak" isn't artisinal, it is an abomination!

I've never had this Polar Seltzer. If I ever see it in a store, I'll have to try it. Then I'll know whether I can trash talk Jesse's opinions.

I am on the way to the office. And wow, there is a bad wreck in front of me judging by the number of emergency vehicles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is this Monday?

Assistant messed up the references in a paper, asked me what to do. I said, compare it with the original manuscript and fix it. She said, we don't HAVE the original manuscript anymore, that's what she worked on.

WHAT

Are you fucking kidding me? She's been editing the submissions and not keeping a copy of the originals. I want to strangle her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good morning! I hate everyone.

Zen, that's insane.

Sorry that people are being annoying, Dana.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

She's been editing the submissions and not keeping a copy of the originals.

I legit just gasped like a character in a bad radio play. WHAT THE SHIT, assistant? WHAT THE SHIT. Why? WHY????

She's been editing the submissions and not keeping a copy of the originals.

But she still has a copy of the submission in e-mail, right? Or she is tracking changes she can see what the original was, right?

That was my thought, but I bet they delete the emails. Just a feeling.
