Did y'all see that picture tho??
So, Jena Malone does make a convincing librarian. Also she is said to be super nice and easy to work with. And she's walking around with her 9 month old son in a baby bjorn.
Aw, baby.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What the SHIT? Why manual pagination? WHY?
beeeecause... the articles in this issue were done by two different vendors. Both of them need page numbers before they can finalize. My autopagination doesn't work until the articles are finalized. So, for the last several issues, I've paginated manually. Because that's actually faster and easier than trying to convince either vendor to just give me the g-d articles.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
It is being a bitch of a day - we have an online mass email system we use. A while ago they introduced a new editing tool and new templates. Everyone wants me to use the new templates - they look nicer. But there's something with the new templates - they periodically refuse to let me copy and paste text. Today I had to key in an almost 400-word text file, then do some complicated things with multiple (crappy) images, bunches of links ... and someone who hadn't bothered to look at it was saying that a shorter version - sent about three hours before - was so short that there really wasn't much point in sending it.

Oh, and HI, ZUISA! I remember you and studying in Harbin, China, and your high-seas adventures! Welcome back!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Not sure what manual pagination is, but it doesn't sound good.

Thrive to spite them
I'm imagining manually numbering pages.
Which is what I had to do (with pencil on paper!) for a 1000+ page set of agenda meeting notes. While answering the phone.
Or I was suppose to because the previous person in the position was a technophobe and did it by hand. I got them to switch to digital with a database.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, it's even better, assuming I'm understanding it.
When you design things for print, you want it to look good. Roughly the same amount of text on facing pages, articles starting on a new page or an odd page or whatever the rule is.
If you do it manually, any time you change anything in the 400-page document, it messes everything else up and you have to check it all over again.

Oyyy.
I just got a prescription refill for my cat, and I think they gave me cherry flavor when they hadn't before. (it's just human medicine.) I don't think this is going to work out.
