avoiding work, round four...

[welfareloser]

you know, there is just nothing fun about the words "fourth draft." especially when your self-proclaimed editor has a snarky little sense of humor and was drinking heavily when he read the document... i am dealing with large red slashes and comments in the margin like:

"huh? why? is this explained later?"
(x'ed out above)
"sorry, that was a 12-beer comment"

"separating two independant clauses with a comma. burn in hell!"

"stop this!" (referring to my excessive use of ellipses... doh...)

"pretty Tonto-esque"

"the, punctuation! queen: strikes again..."

and the occasional: "good!"

so i can only take about a half an hour of this at a time before i drift to g|a and procrastinate... 4th draft had better equal final draft, or somebody gonna die, and my money's on me...

Damn...good luck with that. Somebody should show that guy just where the red pen can go...

"hire" :heh:

the pay involves me arguing with you and belittling you (the current editor dint exactly attack me for no reason :D )and occasionally feeding you dinner and cheap beer.

and you would have to make me laugh harder than the current editor.
here's some more editorial genius:

"you are an ass."

"you are not fecking william faulkner, so just write a non-runon sentence, goddamn you!"

"this passage reflects the author's need for a fourteen-year-old latino boy to punish her."

"is this how women think? i thought it was just like that in the porn movies."

and that's just in the first 80 pages...

Me three! I am also unenjoyed. Amazing how easy it is to avoid work when you don't have a job.

-OC

ps - Hire me too!

Who do you work for? I think this qualifies as harassment. I wouldn't put up with it. Complain.

Indeed, get fired over it.

Then I can take your job

:heh:

i don't work. this is just my extra-curricular activity. a close friend of mine generously offered to proof-read it, and his evil comments are really very helpful... but also indicative of what a buttmunch he is.

Complain?!! I think we way past that point. It's time to kick ass or chew bubble gum and though I'm currently chewing bubble gum I'd spit it out for a chance at that guy!
