Next step is someone a rung higher on the ladder will call and ALSO tell her that her article is being delayed because we really do have a tight schedule. There's virtually no wiggle room for lateness. An article can be late by maybe 2 days, but this author is close to 7 days late, so she's not getting published in the issue she was originally going to be in
Is there any chance her response to this news could get her article dropped entirely?
rubs hands in anticipation...

Yup, that's a fireman's expected level of fitness. Yum.
(We're so totally gonna get socked. Tonight echoes 2010s back to back blizzard neighborhoodness so hard, it's a sign.)
Yay CJ! And yay msbelle!
I am so frigging tired and have somehow failed to take care of all the things I need to do. How does that keep happening?
(But I don't really believe in signs.) (For the record.) (It's all that pattern id crap that is in fact just selective or self created, consciously or not.)
