Oh StarryNight, so true, so very true! I laughed when I read this, because it's one of my pet peeves too! At one of my jobs, I helped put together a sizeable catalog. Because it's a bit of an obsession, you can bet the contents were proofed very thoroughly! Then it went to print. Apparently the middleman was either careless or "fixed" things making them into errors(!) The most glaring example was where two pieces of important information were completely reversed. I just about flipped out. Though my name wasn't on it, a LOT of work went into it and boy did that just send me!

Hehe, here's what's getting to me lately... craigslist job postings.

You: walk on water, possess a level of degree higher than what could possibly be needed to do the job to our complete satisfaction.
We: are apparently incapable of writing an ad with proper spelling and without extraneous apostrophes.
Guess they really do need my skills. Too bad I'm "unqualified".
Their loss!

*disclaimer... I obviously use a far more casual and conversational style in posts and emails. But on the job? No. That doesn't fly in my book.
YES. Grateful for the good parts. I have all three too and realize that if my brain weren't wired this way, I'd be very unlikely to make the kind of connections needed to truly create, you know? But it also reminds me of a funny story. One night, feverishly working in the studio (actually, simultaneously working, dancing and singing...kind of like this: ) and suddenly shouted out, "I'M A F****** GENIUS!!!!!" P-doc at the time heard about this and said, "But you didn't really believe it, did you?" Well actually, YES!
