QUICK TIPS FOR BOSSES, CONT’D! Don’t browbeat an editor who gave up an hour on Thanksgiving weekend for choosing a picture you inexplicably dislike. If you do, you come off as a @#$%, which, admittedly, you are and which that editor should have been smart enough to recognize before he took the @#$%!*& job. Problems at work, Sal? That obvious? I shouldn’t complain, there are lots of upsides to this job, but this one guy… Ah well. Count your blessings, Salz, count your blessings.

Well, at least it was only one hour, instead a whole day out of your Thanksgiving weekend. There's that, too. I'm sorry you bore the brunt of this idiot's wrath, though.

Anyone ever intentionally drive slower when you have a tailgater on your butt? Coming home tonight, some jerkwad with his brights on came right up on me, and I just turned all my mirrors down and went 45 mph in a 55 mph zone until he passed me, and then I sped up to keep up with him so he'd know.

Heh, my grandfather always did this! (He also, e.g., always took up two parking spaces, figuring everyone would pass by the huge truck with all the handicap stickers and “DISABLED WAR VETERAN” signs on it. My grandfather was a character, man, lemme tell ya.)

There are 88 occurrences of "and then". Eighty-eight. In a fanfic that's less than two pages long

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner.

I myself think he looks absolutely terrific! Better and fresher somehow than he has in years. There’s now a more supple veneer to his skin and an added luster to the thickness of his hair. You could almost say there’s a toylike quality to him. Most importantly, he’s very happy with his new look, and I would caution you all not to point or stare or use the word plastic. OK? OK. Thank you. That’s all. Back to work, please.

Not that contrast is needed, but here’s a great lyric:Alan Jay Lerner, to Burton Lane’s music, “You’re All the World to Me.”
