Screwtape

Current t-shirt: Last Kiss. Caption reads - "Men are all alike! Sooner or later… Jack would want more than just wild passionate and cheap thrills! He'd expect me to… cook for him!" thinks pretty blonde woman drawn in '50s style. http://www.lastkisscomics.com/

My boss for a new article doesn't understand the concept of time. I'm writing a piece on Chashama (http://www.chashama.org/home.php) for a magazine downtown. Da' boss wants everything ASAP. Fine. I can do ASAP. Boss-lady also wants me to use the magazine's transcription service.

I usually transcribe myself. I have the tapes and transcripts if anyone wants to fact check. Helps me to get into the head of the people I'm interviewing… But hey, having someone else take some labor off my hands sounds lovely sunshiney.

But that ASAP thing. I called the transcriber service. They wouldn’t' even be able to start the tapes until next week. Not clear on when they'd come back.

Oh.

I'll transcribe them over the weekend myself, start the article, and let the transcription service transcribe them, too. I get my piece in on time (will check all quotes against what the transcriber gives me). My boss gets to use her service, which makes her feel happy.

Yes, someone's spending more money somewhere. But who am I to question why?
