And after yesterday, I can add another: they're scrambling to find someone who can turnaround a feature assignment in 3 days after the original writer bailed due to a medical emergency.

New writers are always saying gee, I sent this query weeks ago and no response, isn't that rude? They have no idea how crazed editors are. Some you could add are: They're in a day-long staff retreat to try to re-envision the publication Also, every once in a while, they're actually on vacation. Or sick. They're putting out this week/month's issue. Or trying to figure out why the Internet is down, or why InDesign keeps crashing. They're doing a team-building activity with current staff. Write on!

Or maybe it's just a mirror. Whatever. When I stop laughing and get my a** back in my chair I just <em>might</em> finish editing tomorrow's post, answer a few emails, and prep for a morning meeting before I go to bed.
