And so we comm... start.

Things Bec has learned in her duties as a sub-editor:

1. Spell check really is beyond the capabilities of some people. It just is.
2. Big words won’t make you sound smart. But they will provoke much lol-age around my office when I tell everyone how you tried to use the word ‘unequivocally’. That word does not mean what you think that word means

This is all sounding eerily familiar to me. OK, except for the sushi. If that happened to me I'd be more concerned about how the fucker got into my house.

8. Nobody cares that ‘I went to university for this shit’.

Fortunately I didn't go to university for THIS shit. I went to university for OTHER shit. If it had been for this shit, I'd have switched majors.

This post made me laugh. Although I'm sure it's not quite so amusing to you. Number 6 was funny to me - I can just imagine all these older ladies with their panties in a twist over that one.

They're like rabid beasts once they decide you've 'slighted' their organisation, I swear it.

Regarding #7...

What exactly did she say to you that elicited such a reaction?

I ask out the desire to ensure I don't say the same thing, ever, and thus avoid having a volatile bec do horrible things to my fragile self.

Really. Seriously.

A belated happy birthday, Bec! Thought you would post something that day so I'd remember, but no. So here it is at last.
