Her sick family may be why she's stressed, but it's not the reason she's being a dick.
HYPHENS??? really???
um, sorry. I apologize on behalf of hyphen-aware editors everywhere. There are probably people in India right now screaming, "HYPHENS??? really???" at my edits too. I've relaxed on the hyphens a lot lately, though, I swear.
And I'm actually doing a terrible job at handling the fact that my cousin died
I hear you. I did a terrible job handling Ginger's death. She was only a couple years older than my sister and that's freaking me out now as I write it.

Yup. I have a lot of ill will towards her.

I'm just at the point where, if the only correction the proofreader had to one of my articles was to insert a hyphen in a word, why does my boss need to email the marked-up proof to me? It's so fucking minor. I'd be less cheesed about it if this weren't such a bad week. It would still be annoying, but I'd just read the email, roll my eyes, think "Hyphens. Right." and move on.
My university is closing at 2. We're just getting a few inches of snow. (Well, my old university seemed to pride itself on stupidly staying open even when everything else in the state was closed. They were once open when there was almost two feet of snow.)

Yeah, but after how stupid everything was Wednesday morning, I bet they looked at the timing of the snow (evening rush hour-ish) and the fact that there are students who need to drive south and east to get home, and those areas are supposed to get hit worse, and decided that, hell, it's Friday, so let's just make it easy on them.
I mean, I don't know just how bad the eastern/southern counties will end up getting slammed, but I can tell you that *any* snow during evening rush hour means your commute will be unfriggingbelievable. I once had a 4-hour commute from Kenwood to Clifton because it was snowing and people are stupid as hell around here.
I'm happy that I have a garage now where I can park my car. At my old apartment, there was just street parking, so I had to clean snow off my car all the time.
I am stuck in indecision. Someone decide for me. Which should I grade first: geometry homework, geometry quiz, or calculus quiz?
Yeah, we have a driveway (not all houses on our street do, so off-street parking is a perk), but not a garage big enough for our cars, so cleaning off snow is an ongoing battle.
YOU GUYS. The author from hell returned the article and -- for real -- answered 2 of the 4 questions. For the other 2, she replied (again) "this information is not needed." Obviously it is, or I wouldn't have asked for it. What the SHIT, lady, are YOU on our editorial staff? No? Then how the FUCK do you know whether it's needed?????
I am at my wit's end and emailed my boss and asked her what to do.
"Neither is your article. Good day."
