lazybookreviews:
Yeah, here’s my thing about that.
I do not think it’s universally the best choice. And this is because I think never having been born is a completely neutral thing.
Me, I have a wonderful life. I have a fantastic, supportive, warm, crazy family, and a nearly perfect husband, and nice pets. And a Kindle.
But if you presented me with The Big Three Options when I was in...

I seem to have picked up four (!) new followers this weekend — howdy, y’all!
Update on the car:
the driver who plowed into my car contacted the owner of the house I was at, and has since been in touch with me. His insurance companies are (slowly) moving along, and taking care of this.
A couple of things:
Why do I have to pay the $5 dollars (cash—who the hell carries cash?) for my accident report when I’m faultless in this?
So far, I’ve spoken with the cop, who said he...

Slow Talker
ladyofthehouse:
Just as awful as the fast talker, but for entirely different reasons, the slow talker is the bane of any transcriptionist’s existence. The slow talker is a deceptive creature, who presents him or herself as god’s gift to the typist.
SLOW TALKER: Heyyyyy. So… I’m gonna talk… like, reaaaal slow. Your hands will have a… um… … … … rest. It’ll be… … … … fantastic.

Look at this website. It had such promise. I mean, American Rhetoric—it boasts the top 100 speeches. So you click it, cause, come on, Reagan is good, right? Then you notice the following: the page is in comic sans. Disgusting.

This may be before many of you Tumblrs were born. I date myself, but this is important. Please forgive me for the lack of snark, witticisms, etc.
