QUEEN EDIT OF PROOFREAD MOUNTAIN
The vice president of my company asked me to proofread and edit the customer newsletter. Needless to say, that is not usually done by one of the store employees.
I am totally bring my Associated Press stylebook with me.
HUGE FREAKING EDIT:
I finally got a new apartment! It's in Ballard just a few blocks off Market on 15th. It's a nice 1-bedroom with more room than I know what to do with, a really cute kitchen, lots of windows, and green walls. I am so excited I hardly know what to do with myself! I was supposed to find out last week, but the real estate agent got sick, so she just called me today. I wish I had known sooner, because HOLY CRAP now I have one week to get packed and moved! HOLY CRAP!
Can I say "holy crap" one more time? HOLY CRAP!
Smaller freaking edit:
I've spent the whole day now cleaning the ol' compartment, and I've run into a lot of little bits of paper with things scribbled on them - I tend to do that a lot. Odd or amusing overheard conversations, random thoughts, quotations, etc. Here's a good'n.
