I'm headed for the pub in like twenty minutes, I just got the SHITTIEST email from a major salesperson about a book we've been slaving over, so suddenly we're all freaking out on conference calls, trying to defend our work and figure out what the fuck, I mean, are people burning my books for heat over there in Indiana, or WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY??

OKay, I can't load 10,000 messages either. I only added ONE MEASLEY ZERO, help me out here.
Altho on the other hand we just got an updated email that our offices now won't open on Monday until NOON, making this now officially a paid 4-day weekend.

Speaking of which, I am acquiring holiday time and air miles like billy-o at the moment so I think doing a weekend in NY another in DC and a week touring somewhere a bit rural might be on the cards for the autumn.

At work, all apostrophes in the sandbox are replaced with "'", which makes it really hard to read and is why I haven't been around much. Not that anyone knows who I am, but hi anyway, guys.

I kiss myself for baking off these chocolate chip cookies last night so that I could eat them right now and drink milk out of the carton with minimal effort.
