Tuesday Tweak

My good chum Old Kitty asked if I liked doing the edits for EC last night. After careful thought, the answer is yes and no.  
Yes, because I hoped I made his documents better. Also, I hope he liked I put the business' graphic on the documents (he did.) EC said I went above and beyond. 
The No part comes in that after about 90 minutes of tweaking, I purt near had enough.  I spent more  time deciphering what EC wrote. Plus how to put the info in some kind of order. This turned into a two hour event. 
The final product was good. EC just changed a couple words. I told him today, he is getting off pretty easy, because I did not charge him. Anybody else I would have.  EC's response?


"Well, I did get you that Blizzard yesterday."
Stay tuned.  

Monday Done

Did some editing on a few documents for a co-worker tonight. Actually it was for the Eye Candy I work with. He goes, "You're the author."  Yea. OK.  Well, EC eventually gave me about four pages total. I asked him how much of an edit did he want?  I learned folks can get a little testy when they say do "Anything, you want"--and then you do anything and they get  upset because their masterpiece is ruined.  Sure, I know a run on a sentence can get the best of em.  Anyway, I told EC I needed a treat--this was around lunch time today. Bless his six foot five self, he brought be back a Dairy Queen Chocolate Blizzard. Kinda melted, yet still solid enough to savor the ice cream. After survey, I realized I could not sneak a few words here there while at work. So home is were I edited it more. 

**Yea. Took a couple hours I did not expect. The four pages, wound up being six, because of the seperation of the the pieces of the documents. Cats got bored as I typed away and I even wondered why am I not working my novel like this?

***** I digress.  I text'd EC when I emailed the documents to him. Haven't heard back, so I am sure we'll chat tomorrow.  

**Oh, and did tell him earlier, that little yummy Chocolate Blizzard ain't gonna be enough for what he wanted as the final product. Like I need me a couple 40 pound bags of cat litter....so stay tuned.

Monday Mention

Remember I told you about the tasty 6'5 eye candy I work with?  Oh, yes I admit I got a a crush on him just from afar. Although for the moment he sits right next to me. Well, two seats over. EC (eye candy for short) noticed I acted a bit different to him today.  I won't bore you with all the details, except it was 'me'--not really him.  
****Yesterday I posted whether you make an impression or impact on somebody. And the realization I can't compete with the 20 something sitting in the middle of EC and me. Was I feelin' old, out of sorts, and maybe some jealousy?  Heck, I am a spoiled only child, who do likes looking and talking to EC, but that's as far as it goes--EC makes me laugh.  So, of course you would like that to last. 
****Anyway, the whole point of this post,  EC tells me we haven't spoken all morning. And we hadn't. We kind of teased back and forth. Told him the 20 something needed to come back so he would quit talking to me. I thought I was being funny. Well, EC looks at me with those big baby browns and asks: Is there some jealousy? 
****Out of the mouths of babes....literally.
