this would be the part of the movie with the emo music

I'm beginning to wonder if publishing is for me after all. It's been not even a week, and I'm dying to get out of here. DYING. The place is crazy. The work is ridiculous, and the majority of the people I encounter are women between the ages of 38-48 who look, dress, act, walk & talk like they fell out of central casting's call for a modern day victorian schoolmarm. Seriously. If they all started singing 'getting to know you' I would NOT be surprised.

GET ME OUT OF HERE!!

(Catherine, my darling, I don't know how you deal with this kind of thing on a regular basis. Working in children's is enough to drive a person out of their gourd.)

you know, children/ya/teen here at tor is absolutely nothing like that. but i guess that's the benefit of sf/f.

I laughed so hard about the whole school marm bit, because that is why I didn't want to be an English major anymore - all the girls were wearing Laura Ashley print dresses and here was me. I know, broad generalization, but that was my experience. I know not all English majors are like that! (I know it now, anyhow!).

Don't dispair - it will be ok. At least you are working in your field. I have a Journalism degree and I working in finance!!!!

I'm sorry it sucks, girlie. I wish I could make it better for you
