Okay so the essay "Publishing and Other Near-Death Experiences" struck a damn chord. Shauna, were you talking to me about this a few years ago? I think so. It hit somewhere between pleasant, beautifully shaded nostalgia of a world that's not really my own and a fucking unholy terror somewhere near PTSD (yes I'm an asshole for using that lightly, let's all move along).

"(The truth is, we discovered the check [for an author advance] request under a pile of magazines on our desk two months after we were supposed to process it.)" !!!!! Never have I read something that captures EA life so well. Thank fuck it wasn't just me.

"As all editorial assistants know, it is not acceptable to pick up the phone and deliver a simple 'hello'." I preferred, "This is Halley Sutton, editorial assistant to David Brightman, editor to the higher education stars. Oh hello, Steven Brookfield! Of course you're one of the stars." I'm not even kidding SB was so cool. And seriously David, working for you was the BEST.
