You know, every once in a while, I get a reminder that not everyone uses the word "fuck" as flippantly as I do. I just got a crazed phone call from Molly in acquisitions. She'd sent me some cover copy to proofread attached to an e-mail with the subject: "The sea ends, the river starts, somewhere inside the great, wide, funnel-shaped estuary called the Nore, whose easternmost boundaries we set arbitrarily at Whitestable on the south, and Foulness Point on the north; somewhere within this vast basin at th," so naturally I replied with "What'd you call me, you fuck?" Then she called and was all like, "DUDE, what is UP with your E-MAIL?!?"

*shrug* I thought it was perfectly reasonable.

I see you have E. Annie Proulx working in your organization. You'd think she'd have made enough to retire by now.
