Meanwhile, in the trenches

I'm about to say something that all copy editors and editors have thought at one point or another:

I just rewrote this damned story from top to bottom, so where's my fracking byline?

Seriously! And to make matters worse, it wasn't even something I find remotely interesting. It was, in fact, the type of story that references articles that appear in Pavement Digest. Pavement Digest, my friends. I'm not even kidding you.

And, ohdearGodno. I just came across the following subhed: "Special Asphalt."

Frack me running. I just want to curl up in bed. Or punch someone.
