I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is there anything more irritating in news or sports coverage than bringing someone on to summarize what social media is saying? If I wanted to know, I'd be on social media.

She just blithely rewrites the original submission.

I just full-on recoiled from the monitor.

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

Jilli, right? I'm just gobsmacked that she's been here for years and thought that was okay. She won't do it again.

My old boss would've found a way to make this be my fault. So thankful she's gone. I have so much less stress at work now.

I can't believe this is the first time it's been an issue! IME, any time version control could be a problem, it's a problem.

I'm so sick of this project and the bullshit way the planner has run it. I'm just going to bull through it, and put it out there, and let the planners take the heat for it. It's stupid and a waste of money and BLARGH.

And, to make it worse, the planner has gotten rewarded for not coordinating with other people and bullshitting her way through it all. She's gotten at least two raises in the last few years, despite having alienated all the environmental staff she's worked with. Argh. I don't even dislike her on a personal level, but she's almost useless in a team context: she makes all the decisions, doesn't consult, doesn't provide information.

I suspect it has been a problem before, but the editor before me probably blamed the vendor for the screw-up, not realizing it started with the assistant.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm irrationally cranky today. I'm eating lunch in an attempt to not hate everyone.

I'm so sorry, Sean. I hope your mother recovers quickly.
