Our authors have 2 days to return their comments on the edited article, and of course many of them cannot do that. Especially since our scheduling algorithm does not take weekends into account!

That's exactly us, literally. Authors get 2 days, and weekends are not taken into account. So an author who gets their article on Thursday is expected to return it on Saturday.

I think it's just crazy unreasonable, but everyone in the industry seems focused on publishing the most papers as fast as possible.

Yup.

Yeah, I feel like on the one hand if the response is "we will get it to you three days after your deadline", the answer should be "great, we will check if there is room for you in next month's edition and if not put you on a wait list!" But to not take weekends into account is ridiculous

Timelies all!

Trying to keep things out of the reach of Mr. Grabby Boy is not easy.

God, I fucking hate our racist neighbor.

Finally got my Hillary sign up out front. Too bad my neighbor hasn't yet taken down his Bernie one. (And he actually moved it after the primaries were over to put a local candidate in the more prominent position, so why not just put it away??)

I also hate my FB friends' ignorant acquaintances who are so fucking determined to hang on to their principles that they're willing to allow a racist misogynistic narcissistic sociopath to be elected for FOUR YEARS to the fucking presidency.

Finally got my Hillary sign up out front.

I gotta get one of those. Though in my neighborhood it's preaching to the choir (except for our neighbor 3 doors down, Republican Ron [so nicknamed because we have 2 older male neighbors named Ron; the other Ron is nicknamed Whittlin' Ron because he sits on his front porch and whittles], who had a Romney sign during the last presidential election).

Okay, what I need is a t-shirt. My mom has the Rosie the Riveter-themed Hillary t-shirt from 2008.
