well, crap
My secret evil plan this quarter is to find a young copyeditor. Since the moment they filled out their questionnaires on the first day, I've been studying the students, sifting through the tea leaves, trying to divine whether my next apprentice is among 'em. It'd be a great gig for someone. The job is already waiting for them, they'd have me to train them, and not many gigs pay this well—let alone for General Studies majors right out of college. Hence secret evil plan. I don't want lobbying.
I was hopeful that I'd found someone very good. Then yesterday, this leading candidate misspelled her own first name.
"Um, Jillian? Your name only has two Ls in it."
