SHOUTING THREAD. →[More:]GRRRRR. IN ADDITION TO THE WHOLE MONEY THING YESTERDAY, THE EDITORS I'M WORKING WITH ARE BEING REALLY ANNOYING TODAY TOO.

MY DEADLINE IS TOMORROW. I GET AN EMAIL FROM THE LITTLE EDITOR THIS MORNING SAYING THAT THE BIG EDITOR IS CONVINCED THAT THE FIRST PART OF THIS ARTICLE (PUBLISHED LAST MONTH) PROVOKED A WHINY EDITORIAL WRITTEN BY A COUNTY SUPERVISOR, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED A FEW DAYS AGO IN THE SACRAMENTO PAPER.

NOW, I'M ALL FOR TAKING CREDIT AND BOOSTING MY EGO AND SHIT, BUT I DON'T THINK THE EDITORIAL WAS ACTUALLY IN RESPONSE TO MY ARTICLE. THE EDITOR DOES WANT TO TAKE CREDIT, THOUGH. SO THEY WANT ME TO CALL THIS COUNTY SUPERVISOR AND "NAIL" HIM. BUT HE DIDN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING NAILABLE -- IT WAS ALL JUST POLITICAL BULLSHIT, HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WORTH CONTRADICTING. SKIRTED THE ISSUES, YES. BUT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN NAIL SOMEONE FOR. IT WAS AN EDITORIAL, FERCHRISSAKES.

AND ALL THIS COMES AN HOUR AFTER BIG EDITOR CALLED LITTLE EDITOR, TOLD HER THAT HE WANTED TO SEE MY ROUGH DRAFT RIGHT NOW! WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK I AM? I DON'T DO ROUGH DRAFTS. NOT MY STYLE.

DAMMIT, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET THE FUCKING THING DONE, BUT THEY KEEP THROWING ME CUVEBALLS. AND CHEATING ME OUT OF MONEY. AND IT'S REALLY ANNOYING.
