Good thing I had breakfast first
So this is the way it works. At work. My Other Work Half and I edit all of the stuff the astrologers write. We both take a pass at everything that comes in. Sometimes he goes first. Sometimes I go first. Usually, we end up with a fairly awesome finished product. This morning, it was a love forecast. I went first. Some IMs took place. Here's an excerpt.
Me: I took out the word "sensual" because it grosses me out. If you feel like it needs to be there, go ahead and put it back in. Just don't tell me. Also, I will almost always replace the following words and phrases: Lover, lovemaking, making love.
Other Work Half: (Who I can hear already laughing over the top of the wall that separates our cubicles) So you like it hardcore?
Me: Ha!
Me: They make me think of a 70s guy with aviator glasses and a thick mustache wearing white short-shorts and listening to soft jazz.
Me: Ew, now I've totally grossed myself out. Back to editing.
