associated newspapers is spamming ILX!

also: if knowledge of punctuation alone maketh the sub, i'm a hanging participle. with a lawsuit attached.

I wouldn't mind punctuating for a living. How does one get into it?

Sub-editors: how can I avoid killing them?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:39 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, I wonder what could possibly have led to a shortage of Metro subs?

Likewise any sub-editors should email me, I might have something for you that it isn't appropriate to talk about on here.

anyone fancy moving to glasgow and working for me? oh no, hang on: WE'VE GOT ANOTHER FUCKING RECRUITMENT FREEZE. so even though one of my key subs has just quit, i can't replace him.

this time next year, i'll have been a staff subeditor in some form or another for a decade. it really will be time to call it quits :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 24 August 2006 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

can i work for you please? oh no, hang on, YOU'D BE DAMN SCARY TO WORK FOR! hmmmmm. i should really take on some extra shifts. if only i wasn't so lazy. we should do lunch one day simon.
