Oh, but there is now. I'm sure you're so glad.
First, this woman comes in the other day, about a week ago, and I wasn't in yet. I can't stand dealing with this woman, because she's so demanding, and if something isn't done exactly her way, she calls and complains and is, in general, a giant pain.
So she comes in before I get to work, and demands of one of the employees, "WHERE is Liz?" Said employee didn't know (because, last time I checked, I didn't have to check in with people and let them know where I am at any given time) so she storms into the newsroom and demands it again, "Where is Liz?" No one knew, obviously, but they told her that she could leave her announcement on my desk. It was still June at this point, and the calender thing was for this coming weekend, so it's not like it was even vital.
I picked up the thing for the first time today and read it. I almost died when I read through it, because. . .well, this is how it read. Keep in mind, this is news. This is for a newspaper. Typically, news doesn't read like. . .well, like this:
(This is exactly how it appeared. I didn't add any spaces or punctuation or whatever. This is as is.)
July 4th . Activities at the FCCC
July 4th . 5 PM until
For one of the finest July 4th . Celebrations, you should come on out to the FCCC. There will be lots of food, and where can you get a good meal for $5 this day in time. There will be plenty of games for the children and adults alike. Prizes will be awarded in each of the age groups. There will be a band on stage providing good old mountain music. A huge display of fireworks will go off as soon as it is dark enough. Many people say this is one of the best displays of fireworks anywhere around. So come out and see for yourself. Parking will be at a Minimum, so carpool as much as possible. There will be men helping with the parking. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR AND BLANKETS. NONE CAN BE TAKEN FROM THE CAFETERIA.
Good times.
Good times.
