Love to you msbelle. I hope things are better today.
askye, lots of ~ma for your grandmother.
A belated and heartfelt thanks to all of the Buffistas who donated to my Rock Roulette band. You all were among my most supportive donors, even though I'm hardly around these days, which just goes to show that family is family. Thanks in part to you, we collectively exceeded our fundraising goals (as a band) by over $700, and as an event by over $1500! Awesome!
Also, I did a thing I was terrified to do, (got up on stage and performed) and it was fun. We weren't the best band out of the nine, but we definitely weren't the worst, and I think I'm going to do it next year. Maybe I'll even try to learn another instrument!
I am entirely over this week and am ready for it to end.
Cataract surgery for the win!
Today is better.
That is very good to hear.
I'm dealing with one of those authors who argues with most of the changes I made (even though those changes are in line with our style manual). The plot twist on today's author is that he is the editor-in-chief of the JAMA journal in which the article is being published.
Why the fuck doesn't the EIC know our style? Why does he think I'm being indiscriminate in my changes? And the problem here is, I don't think I have the authority to tell him that the editing is staying as is, because those edits are in line with our style. A lowly freelance editor is at the bottom of the hierarchy, and I can't just tell the EIC I won't make his changes. But I think I'm going to have to be the one to tell him that, and then if he objects again, I can kick it up the ladder. Bah.
Hugs and love and moral support to all who need or want them. I know I don't post much these days, but I read here pretty much every day.
As amyth said, family is family. (Hi, amyth!)
Good to see your pixels Karl!
So hive mind, I am in charge of wine and champagne for the wedding in July. Should I do this with a local booze place, or mail order? Costco? Any suggestions welcome. I think there are going to be a lot more beer drinkers than wine and the kids are getting a keg, but champagne should happen for toasts. Her parents already arranged the food. I'm thinking the day will be here sooner than anticipated.
