i really am a stupid arsehole

I was in a really bad mood for most of yesterday. I wrote a movie review page in the magazine for the charity I volunteer for and they fucked it up. Not royally, but... at least upper classy.

They did things like changing a comma to a colon, switching the order of the opening two sentences so they made less sense, centering text that should have been justified, splitting the main text into two columns instead of one, taking eleven lines for a top ten because “1994” was pushed down onto a second line... I kept carrying the magazine with me so I could keep looking at it and get annoyed just as I was starting to cheer up. You have to take those kinds of steps if you’re aiming to mope for a full day.

It’s made me wonder if I’m really cut out for a career as a writer if I throw a fit over someone adding a colon where I wanted a comma. It’s not even like it was important. I suck!
