Dear Diary,

I’ve been playing catch up all day.  At precisely 5:00 pm, I asked myself, “Paige, why are you still working here?”

At exactly 5:10 pm, I marched into B.B.’s office and posed the same question to him.

He was in a lucid moment, due to Bambi visiting her third mother’s cousin (yes, you did read that correctly), but was without a sufficient reason, and offered me yet another salary increase and three extra weeks vacation a year to stay on.

I relented again.

We talked for 45 minutes, however, and I was able to vent quite a bit of frustration.

 

“B.B.”, I said, “Our client is crass and lacks any sense of decorum.  He/she is completely bonkers, worse than that is the grave literary offence of redundancy.

How does he/she think we will be able to publish the same material over and over again?”

 

I think I finally made a break through!  He has agreed to try a new Literary Intervention Technique!

I have booked our client and all his/her personalities for a weekend conference in Montana with a renowned expert in the field of creativity and original ideas.

 

Avoiding Redundancy For Dunces and Alts.

 

He/She departs on Friday afternoon! I hope we’re able to hide his/her laptop, so we will have at least one weekend of peace and quiet!

    Maybe we'll be lucky and all the personalities will fire at the same time, locking them up? *sigh*
     
    To dream, to dream.

    Good evening Paige. How are you tonight? I hope fine and dandy :~) 
     
    Well you made a break through on my end. Literary Intervention.... i had to look up two words. lol oh well .... "Crass"- gross, insensitive. huh
    Then the biggy one for me. "Decorum"- orderliness, conformity to accepted standards of conduct.
     
    No wonder you are the Editor.  *smile* Take care of yourself ~see ya lol....
  • PaigeLe'Editor said on Oct 16, 2008....
    My dear Ex, that would be most dreamy!
     
    Ms. MMI, how are you darling? 
    I just finished the recently found Capote novel.
    I'd been meaning to get to it for some time, but I rarely have a night off!
    Between you and I, Nino can get along just fine without me for one night!
    He sounded pathetic when I turned him down, so I promised him Saturday!

    ARFDAA? Absolutely brilliant idea, PaigeAnd Montana!  Clients neighbors will be thrilled to here that. They've had to call security on three occasions just this week. It seems he's been dressing for Halloween a tad early, as a police officer no less, and threatening to arrest his neighbors.
    Were you aware one of our more prolific erotica writers lives in his building? You'll get a giggle from this...
    He rang her doorbell, shouted "boogah boogah" when she answered, then ran away. She just shook her head and laughed at him. All his neighbors laugh at him, Paige. They've decided that is the only way to put up with his silly antics.

    I don't see why BB is so intent on trying to work with him. I mean, the man can no longer put a simple sentance together...just look at this:
    "...thinks he is smart for evading arrest, but he is just delaying the enviable, imo."
    I mean, really...delaying the enviable? Didn't we download spell check for him after that abdominal/abominable debacle?



  • Expendable said on Oct 17, 2008....
    Spellcheck just underlines all the mis-spelled words. You have to click on them to correct.

    There you are darling!
    I've been looking everywhere for you!
    Do you need anything?
    Just say the word and it's yours!
     
    It's so nice to see you out and about, and sounding so chipper!
    Yes, Ex is an absolute treasure!
     
    Bye now!  Have a great weekend!  Don't stay up too late!
    We miss you already!

    I am nearly positive I had a Webster's New World sent to his room at the home. Well, I could be wrong.  Of course, one must be at least slightly familiar with, or  posses a cursory knowledge of the English language to actually use a dictionary, wouldn't you think?
  • Expendable said on Oct 18, 2008....

    Some people turn to the page and read the entry they need then close the dictionary.

    Some of us read the dictionary.

  • hottips4u said on Oct 18, 2008....
    Yep thats true enough X !  I have done that too, but I prefer a Pictionary w/ maps and stuff included.

    Only it (dictionary) has another practical use as well, w/ a little help from duct tape.

    Yep,  I have one of them red hard covered Websters Dictionary books.  I duck taped that sucker closed real tight and now its my booster seat when I drive the RV (duct tape keeps one from sliding about as well).

    I would recommend all short people who own RV's to buy that book!  It will change your outlook, especially when driving an RV being a short persona and all. ; )

    You might save some money if you don't have any duct tape by asking one of your neighbors (especially the short ones) to use a little bit of their duct tape.  Odds are they will understand, and be glad to share their duct tape for your new book  i.e.: booster seat.

    Your a right smart fella X.  Many thanks goes out to you for sharing that . ; )

  • Expendable said on Oct 18, 2008....
    If only dictionaries worked by osmosis. Oh the possibilities...! Just think what would happen if you used an encyclopedia set.
  • hottips4u said on Oct 18, 2008....
    Or the service manuals for the space shuttle.....whoa.

    As to :  Just think what would happen if you used an encyclopedia set.

    That would be dependent upon how much could be absorbed and how fast, as to how high one would sit in the seat I reckon. 

    But thats silly of course, nobody would need a whole set.  That might take a whole roll of duct tape just to keep um all het up tight like in a stack.

    Besides X, I said it worked for short people, not miniature people...jeepers.

     
  • PaigeLe'Editor said on Oct 18, 2008....
    Oh, you silly thing! 
    They aren't for sitting on, they're for reading darling!
     
    Oh, and mind your apostrophes!  They seem to be missing again!
     
    By the by, I'm not familiar with the word het.
    Would you be a dear and enlighten me?
  • Expendable said on Oct 18, 2008....

    I read the operations manual once. I was bored.

  • Lucytorial said on Oct 18, 2008....
    Pull it apart, put it back together again and you will always have these shitty little extra bits left over.. who needs a manual, makes no sense to me.
  • hottips4u said on Oct 19, 2008....
    @ Paige  :   They aren't for sitting on, they're for reading darling!

    Reading...lol... what a silly notion especially  when everyone knows it's all those glossy pictures in a encyclopedia that sell them !  Read them... your a gas !

    Oh, and mind your apostrophes!  They seem to be missing again!

    Don't matter, I'm not very religious.  Besides, those apostrophes are Gods problem, not mine, I'm not a Union worker !

    ummmm...maybe that osmosis thingy works, unless your using Britannica ?  I think those pages are plastic coated  which would slow the leach rate I think ?
    : /  ... Ouch, I'm thinking again.

    het up ?....its an adjective ; meaning :  uptight, stressed, angry, mad, up set.

    Listen, if I am going be doing ur job Pagie ( I should tell on you), I want better benefits or more pay (but would be happy w/ changing the Coke machine in the lobby to Pepsi, and a fresh roll of duct tape).

    @ X  :  Operations manual ?  Were you really think about being a  Dr.  X ?  You do know ... your suppose to work on the ugly ones too !  Nasty field of work sometimes, it would of bored me too ! (except for the cute ones  ; )  hehe...

    I'm happy to see the Thorazine is working, but may we please deal with the man via messenger? I don't like him near my desk.
  • Expendable said on Oct 19, 2008....

    Junie - you know how defensive the client gets - and their belief that "a good offense makes for a good defense."

    They do seem a little confused - even if it was possible to absorb knowledge from a book by osmosis that's hardly the body part we wanted schooled.

    I may have inadvertently given the client a faux pas mentioning the operations manual, what with their own recent brush with the medical profession. We can all understand their concern I guess. I should have been more specific but felt that since they were the ones who'd mentioned the space shuttle's service manuals in the first place that they'd understood I was talking about The Space Shuttle Operator's Manual.

    Oh! I had a thought - could we get a police procedural out of the client do you think? Or perhaps a lovely crime story? Mysteries would sell nicely!

  • PaigeLe'Editor said on Oct 19, 2008....
    Forget about Pepsi, make it champagne! 
    A raise? Oh, you are too cute!  Aren't you taking up a substantial portion of our resources already?  If you desire duct tape though, I could have Ms. Torial call Walter.  He's just swimming in duct tape!
     
    Junie darling, where is our Junie/Paige/Client Liason these days?
    Is he still employed?
    Is he hiding?
    Perhaps he could use some Thorazine as well?
     
    Ex, you are brilliant!  How about a Space Mystery?
  • hottips4u said on Oct 19, 2008....
    @  Paige :
    Ex, you are brilliant!  How about a Space Mystery?

    You mean like how many gummy moose would fit into Palin's Pussy ?  That kinda space mystery ?  : / 

    @ X :  Of course I knew what you were talking about, (operations manual)  but if it bored a geek like you X,  imagine what it does to a normal person ?  Try being understandable expendable, as intolerable and contemptible are computable.

    ouch..thinking again...

     
  • Expendable said on Oct 19, 2008....

    A space shuttle or even the ISS would make for an interesting lock room mystery - but is any of the client's personalities an astronaut? From what I'm seeing so far, it'll be better if the client works with a ghost writer. I can ask Mikhail - he's a friend and has better English skills than the client's shown of late. No wait - I think I'd rather keep Mikhail as a friend. We'll find someone else. But they'll have to be entertaining. I may read a lot of things when I'm bored, but it's better when the writer's good.

  • hottips4u said on Oct 19, 2008....
    I agree, maybe they'll give ya few tips while your there X. ; )

    Writing in soulcast is ghostly enough isn't it ?  I mean everybody is an expert, so everybody becomes a ghost so as not to end up haunting themselves ya know !

    I can out write you Ex, hands down, pointed ears up and forward to hex, even on a rainy day I can out write you is what I say !

    Pick a topic and lets have fun, I'll show you... you son-of-a-bitch, how it's done !
  • PaigeLe'Editor said on Oct 19, 2008....
    In the immortal words of the WWF.
    "Let's get ready to rumble!"
     
    Hotty dear, we strive for subtle nuance here at B.B..
    I was thinking more along the lines of a Dan Brownesque intellectual outer space drama.
    Are you up for the challenge?
  • hottips4u said on Oct 20, 2008....
    Not adjusting the bead a lil high are ya ?  lol

    Gee but it would be nice to create something worth all those millions, eh ?

    Ya want a sci-fi Huh ?  Adult ?   General Audience ?

    WWF  !  lol   Get Ready To Createeeee !  (or assimilate ?)

    I think it would be best if we kept this G rated.
