Documents, Red Pens, Bananas

Attack of the 500 page document from hell!

Yesterday I had an 8lb binder dropped on my desk by a boss who was in need of four copies. Look, don't judge my job--something inside me already dies a little each time I shell out $135/month for my college loan, knowing that I am now employed in some capacity to make copies.

But it's not the only thing I do, and I get to PROOFREAD at this job. PROOFREAD! I don't know what kind of English majors you knew back in school, but if they were worth their salt they would have enjoyed a good proofread from time to time. At the very least they should have appreciated the occasional tree diagraming of a sentence.

lol. With gusto indeed.

Anyway, I get a box of red pens over here, and I get to rip through people's carefully-compiled documents with reckless aplomb. It's.....well, it's a blast.

Well, so yesterday it was 4 copies of the 500-page doc, today I got one of my self-made copies dropped on my desk. It's mine to proofread. Byt 2:30. Today. Lord God.

So if it's okay with you, I'm just going to get to that.

But before I do...I have this....friend...who thinks that Chaquita bananas are the only good bananas, and that all other bananas taste like flavourless filth. Could I please have your opinion on this? I am of the school of thought that A BANANA IS A BANANA IS A BANANA. We're also known as Banana Egalitarians.


Okay so let me know about the banana, and otherwise have a good Tuesday!
