Last Friday in the sub-editing office
It's near the end of the week. You're starting to get sick of work. You've been sub-editing trivial community story after trivial community story all week, you're sick of the inanity, and you just want your weekend. What do you do?
In the case of my esteemed colleague Tobias Brockie, you write haiku:
i wish i could stop
caring for tense and grammar
but i never will
i always think of
headlines for things that happen
to me every day
i think that's a sign
that i am dangerously
near losing my mind
...
The worst thing is that the complete lack of caps and punctuation bugs me. My fingers are itching to fix it....
