I Have Some More Rage, Guys
[mood| 
annoyed]

I effing hate doing rage posts because I feel like I should just deal with this shit without having to write about it, but god. After I write about it, I feel so much better.
So here it goes:
I've been asked by USF's student run newspaper, The Oracle, to write for them over the summer. Awesome. Fantastic. I was ridonkulously excited when they contacted me.
The only problem that I have is that I can't go to the weekly staff meetings because, one, I've spent the past two weeks in Calfornia so I obviously can't go to those meetings and, two, I live three and a half hours away from Tampa and it makes no sense for me to drive there for a two hour meeting once a week. It's just a waste of my time and gas.
Yesterday, I received an email from the editor of the paper, informing me that they would like to give me an assignment, but they're concerned because I've never been to any of the meetings. I'm raging because this is the FIFTH time that I've reminded them why I cannot attend their weekly meetings. It is also the FIFTH time that I've informed them that if it is absolutely necessary for me to attend these meetings and I cannot somehow call in, then I would be more than willing to wait until the upcoming Fall semester to write for them.
And so, I replied to the editor's email, politely reminding her of these two sticking points with my summer schedule. The email I get in response is basically along the lines of, "Oh, yes. I remember you other emails. I need to be reminded every time I talk to a writer."
Okay...so, what exactly do you want me to do? Do you still want me to write for you guys? Are you guys willing to do a conference call? Do I have to wait until this coming Fall to write for you guys? What in the actual fuck is going on?
I'm just annoyed that I constantly have to remind the editor about my restrictions. Like, no joke, every time that I've emailed this girl, I've had to remind her about my constraints. I'm just, like, "Get your fucking acts together, people."
*sighs* I'm done now. :)
And OMG. I'M LISTENING TO THE STAR TREK NOVELIZATION AS READ BY ZACHARY QUINTO.
I'M DYING, YOU GUYS. His female voice is HYSTERICAL.
If you want to share in this awesome man's epicness, you can find the recordings over at ontd_startrek. But I found it on the Sunday Swap at _twatlight.
And who's excited that captainfine and zqmotherfucker are on _twat? I AM.
