I promise that I will stop hating on the copywriter soon, but the wounds are still so fresh and he keeps pouring salt into them. The saga continued yesterday when my new arch nemesis decided to use a red pen to "correct/edit" my proposal. Ummmm......since when did Harry Potter come back as my tenth grade English teacher. Adding insult to injury, Magic the Gathering in-the-flesh had the audacity to enter my office and verbally present me with a critique of the work (after laying on his tummy in our reception area to ensure maximum comfort for such an arduous process). "Yeah, um, it's really good. It's kind of nice to read something that Gabe (our owner) hasn't written for a change." (Really?! You want to criticize the person that signs your paychecks...(If you're getting any, but that's another story.)) Before continuing with, "Yeah, just some minor changes, but really, you're a good writer. Good job. Really, pretty good." As if I don't already know that?!
Sorry, but you tried to convince me that the plural ownership of the singular noun client should be client's, not clients'. Please do not spread your incorrect pariah-like advice to the realm of greatness that encompasses my writing abilities. Did your English professor plead with you to switch majors? Doubtful. Did your creative writing teacher laud you as the next Shel Silverstein? Highly improbable. Now get out of my office before I leap across my desk and put you in the meanest chokehold you've ever seen outside of Hogwart's.
Oh, I'm sorry....I forgot where I was going with this. Anyway, when he left for the bathroom, I took all of his red pens. hahahahaha. Seriously. I debated shoving them in the toilet in the bathroom and then covering up the evidence with toilet seat covers. Thus, I would answer my original questions as follows:
1. TERRIBLE THINGS
2. BECAUSE THE PENS NEEDED TO GO
3. NO
4. NO
5. YES
but...I didn't really have to go to the bathroom and I hate wasting trips so I simply brought them home with me...Anyone want to come over for a bonfire?
