Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Gah, Sheryl. Day off for you sounds like a good call.
My work saga just took an odd turn. A coworker from my previous department just told me she's taking early retirement and will be gone Feb. and they will eventually hire someone to fill her position, so I should apply. Which I probably will, I mean, why not? But it's all very strange.
I have SO MANY annoyances but I assure you all that every single one is rational and completely justified.

Same. Mixing up kitchen towels, cloth napkins, and washclothes is dangerously irresponsible and I'm right to harshly judge the people in my household who do this. (And what kind of monster would put a wooden spoon in the stainless steel / silicone things holder when CLEARLY there is another one right next to it with all wooden things and as any right thinking person can see THERE IS A SYSTEM HERE IT'S NOT JUST RANDOM THAT THEY ALL ENDED UP THAT WAY.)
Jessica, I have those same awful people in my house!
Come on, now, there's a finite probability that they just ended up like that by chance.
Argh I'm on my hour long train home and I forgot my ear buds at work. The horror!
That is a horror. You're just supposed to listen to the world?? At least you have the internet.
Here's a work problem I haven't run into yet: I'm editing an article with 2 figures. When I opened the figure files, they are -- I'm not kidding -- photos of hand-drawn figures on spiral-bound notebook paper.
Pretty sure we can't use those, broheim. How the fuck did that even get accepted for publication???
I did have fun writing the query to the author for that, though. ("These files appear to be photos of hand-drawn figures on spiral-bound notebook paper. As such, they do not meet the minimum requirements for figure files for the AMA. Please resubmit files that have been created in a computer graphics program.")
Author probably expects you'll configure them.
They are total chicken scratch. I can't fathom how they would think we would reproduce them. But of course they didn't think about that.
(And I checked all the correspondence to be sure that the higher-ups didn't say "Oh yes, our Graphics Department can create your figures for you!" There is no such correspondence in any of the files.)
