thessalianAnd in other news, Ham-Fisted Editor continues to make my life a misery. He prints out a copy of his To-Do list for me, but he prints it off in its incomplete form, and I only notice when I realise that there's an author name at the bottom of the page with no decision attached so I have to go digging through the part of the server he's supposed to put that list on, then go digging through the part of the server he's taken to putting things on instead (all the while just telling me, "It's on the server"), reprint it and hope I haven't typed up letters that have previously been edited.
Then there's the ridiculous paper from hell issue. Look, he comes up to me with this paper that's just come in and says, "This looks like a paper that came in last year. Could you find it for me?" I look through the database by author name; nothing. I look through the email system - in vain, because this paper came in during June 2005 and I've cleared out my email folders up to July, but worth a try for a reference point email; nothing there, either. He is the only person who has a copy of this paper. So he puts it on the server, then writes under the paper that's just come in, "This resembles the paper by [author] submitted last June - copy on the server. Please can you look again for the file and see what happened to it?"
I. Have. Told. You. If it's not in the database, and there's no reference in any email, and there's no T-card, it was never processed, and therefore will have no file. And the reason for that is unclear to me, as I wasn't even here in June (no; I had a different hell-job in June), but I would surmise it has something to do with the fact that you have a copy of that paper when no one else seems to know of its existence. Which suggests to me that it's the other paper, the one where I kept reminding you that you and Lady Competence were supposed to discuss it and you kept brushing it off until yesterday when you bitched me out for filing that file and insisting that's why you haven't remembered about it, all over again. And watch as I take the shit for this. Watch and grin, you ham-fisted fuck.
I think I may go to lunch early. I still have the post run to do.
