Rules of Editor-dom


  1. slash.slash.slash.
  2. then slash some more
  3. follow the 3L scan formula (courtesy - fa) - scan and look thru every third line in a paragraph. looks slashable right? do it then.
  4. deadlines? - to quote twain - dont u just love the whooshing noise they make as they go by? :)
  5. your boss will be an over-bearing ass and your sub-ordinates will be incompetent imbeciles.yeah... life just sucks that way. for Everyone.
  6. coffee breaks rule!
  7. job reqs: losing sleep,foregoing any pretense of a social life, being hated for being annoyingly meticulous and generally hated anyway. the lucky ones get elaborately worded hate mails, the others - much more elaborately worded death threats.
  8. payoffs : none.zero.zilch.zip.nada.

.. there comes a time when we realise .. what we think of people is really just that .. what we think ..

and not what they are ... not by a long shot...

and the question of what to do remains in the room.. heavy and ominous .. like the stormclouds i see..

.
thunder rolls and lightning flashes with a wrath and vengeance that's brilliant to behold ...

maybe thats my answer
