meant to be working at home, distractions so far

i: kogan posts reading group on heidegger, a book i own but cannot find in the current chaos-tip of my house -- realise i need a massive reorg tidy and poss.some new bookshelves, perhaps on the ceiling
ii: spot discussions of marx and ballard on crooked timber and post comments on both, which i hardly ever do there -- realise i need to reread marx and ballard to see if my youthful understanding lensed thru aged wisdom remotely does justice to either
iii: get rung by dad's carer's 2-yr-old who can work the speed-dial (becky is "1", i am "2", 2-yr-old's mum is "3") -- have chat w.his mum about dad's bday next week which i need to buy a present for
iv: PMOGGY ORGAFUN -- need to find mp3s by sunday
v: haha this
vi: will shortly have to venture out and get new razors and asthma prescription, also something to eat
vii: then to WORK hurrah *sigh*

work opportinity (VERY part time)

hullo excellent LJ proofreaders!!

our outsource proofreader at [where i work] just quit -- her dayjob is more demanding and she can't commit to our deadline requirements any more.

so we need someone for a few days once every two months -- can work from home -- who can read, check and mark up around 40 pages of text, turning it round in a handful of days. Actual time allowed varies as does pagination, but it is usually pretty late and frantic -- and needs to fit into our requirements.

this is back-up proofing best done by someone outside the magic office circle, who will spot stuff everyone in the circle will miss

Must be: adept with printer's mark-up and have an excellent eye
Should be: good at saying "I don't follow this! Waht u talk about f00ls?"

Recompense is negotiable -- it's currently not great but not awful either.

yes ok i have a squeaky voice PROVED BY SCIENCE

phone just rang (landline)

i: i slightly suspected it was web ppl from work about a meeting
ii: didn't want to sound cross and realised as i approached the phone i wz practicing OUT LOUD sayin "hullo" in a bright cheerful non-cross way
iii: picked up the phone, sed "hullo" in a bright cheerful non-cross way
iv: it was the AA wanting to speak to Mr Dubdobdee -- "That's me"
v: "No, Mr Dubdobdee"
vi: "Yes, that's me"*
vii: "You're MISTER Dubdobdee?"
viii: "Yes, I am, MISTER Dubdobdee"
ix: "Oh, I'm terribly sorry sir I thought you were a, er er, someone else..."

*(admittedly shd have sed "I AM HE!" at this point, donald sinden-style)
