Oh, the wonders of (one of) my internship(s)
Backstory: My full-time, paid internship as a production editorial intern is at a publishing house, where most of my tasks include proofreading/copyediting and playing with maps/arguing with cartographers, among many other duties that sound dull but entertain me enough. This is my ode to the peculiar love I possess for proofreading.
-Oh, the pleasure I get from finding a mistake--making myself feel useful, important and, if it's a discreet error, rather clever.
-The mirth experienced upon discovering a comma splice--the joyful reaffirmation of finding a second.
-"Over production"? That's one word, right? Yes! Sweet sensation.
Hmm, it's almost 5:30; I should leave the office soon.

Well, it's nice to see some kind of an update...
Congrats on the internship--it always sounds like something I'd want to do, but then I realize I'm the one guilty of making the comma splices. Ah well.

And did you read over at Match Cut that I had a dream about you about a week ago?

Yeah, I did--I even wrote a reply to the post.
Isn't that meant to be my dream and not your nightmare, though?

Cartography? Wait the land is the blue part right?
