"this information is not needed."
That's "I would prefer not to" in disguise, yes?
Basically, yeah. My boss replied and said to go ahead with all of her ridiculous asshattery (I'm paraphrasing), and to document it thoroughly, including a note that the author is exceedingly picky (that apparently is code for "whiny entitled jerkface"). And then she said, like with my other problem author earlier in the week, the managing editor may lay the smackdown hard when she reviews it. And I would pay money to see that happen.
With all apologies to Teppy, because that woman is clearly the worst, and I am sorry you have to deal with her, I am now filled with the desire to answer the next reference question with "this information is not needed" and see what happens.
My "c" is not broken, exactly, but it is somewhat unreliable, which results in me frequently trying to go to faebook.om which is, I dunno, I guess where faeries go to meditate?
Damn that whole needing a paycheck thing.
Right? I want to rip this author a new one, but I really like getting paid, so I won't.
Though it occurs to me that potlucks in San Francisco might not suffer from the problem of not enough vegetarian food.
You probably wouldn't be surprised that no one has offered to bring a meat dish thus far.
I like everyone's suggestions. I was thinking maybe beet salad: [link]

Then you need to bring the beef jerky.
Full on southern potluck, bring fried chicken.
my * is still broken
I like it, it looks like you're cussing up a blue streak!
My go-to potluck dish is a lentil-quinoa-arugula salad because it makes a TON and it always gets et.
