i’m really busy here at work. like super duper busier than i’ve ever been busy. it’s a commonly known fact that i’m busy. before anyone even says anything to me lately it starts, “i know you’re really busy, but. . . ”

it makes me laugh. i like being busy. i’ll take busy over board every day of the week. so i’m busy, we’ve established that. however, i’d be a lot less busy if people would just let me do my job. i’m the writer, that’s what they pay me to do. i put the words together and what not. but since i’m busy some people are trying to help by writing their own stuff and then having me “check” it. they think they are helping, but they aren’t. it’s more work. it’s much easier for me to pound out three sentences of short, coherent copy than to copy edit their copy and then explain why i changed it.

why can’t they see that?
