TRUE STORY. My grandmother actually DID die the week of finals during my freshman year of college. My parents, concerned as always with allowing me every opportunity to succeed academically, concealed her death from me until after finals were over so that I would not be distracted.

I emailed this to Mallory but it's too terrible not to share here too:

I was VERY active in the online Buffy fan community in the late 90s and actually managed to find some of my fanfiction from that era a couple of weeks ago (it is grimdark but not as bad as it could have been I guess), BUT my first fanfiction was a spiral bound notebook consisting of one very long piece of Sailor Moon fanfiction that I handwrote in different colored glitter pens and gave to my younger cousin as a terrible, terrible birthday present when I was 10.

PLEASE ALLOW ME THIS TANGENT:

Often, when we are at a restaurant, my husband will say to me, "XXXXX looks good, but I don't want to order it because I don't know how to pronounce the name."

And I say to him, "So? The waiter shouldn't judge you and they certainly shouldn't correct you; it is literally part of their job to ensure you have a pleasant dining experience instead of shame-eating the dish with the made-up pretend-Italian name they derisively corrected the pronunciation of for you."

I AM PAYING FOR THIS FOOD, I WILL CALL IT WHATEVER I WANT.

I thought the valentine's cards were going to be inspired by dysfunctional author/author, author/poet couples (Dylan Thomas/Caitlin McNamara: I love you so much I think we should both get falling down drunk and beat the hell out of each other) and I am super disappointed.

I've been reading Ask A Manager for years, have written Allison a few times, and it is the most helpful employment advice I have ever gotten. That said, I am the exact age that a lot of my peer group got suckered into that MLIS trap and maaaaaaaaan.
