Oh, I hate to sound grumpy/But my nerves are so jumpy

Hello hello!

Well, since Kathleen and Carla's [independent] revelations, I have come to the realization that if you google hangPROUD, my blog comes up, which is at the same time both gratifying and slightly creepy. Anyway, on the off chance that my HP interns or bosses (who I love!) or any of the HP-interested googlers out there stumble across my humble blog, I thought I might throw a bit more HP-related information on here. Most of which should be taken as tongue-in-cheek and with a small pinch of salt, if you will. Sugar works too. And I can be bribed with chocolate.

[side note...there are three HPs in my life. 1. hangPROUD (obviously), 2. Harry Potter (no duh), 3. Hewlett Packard, makers of my fine though slightly malfunctioning computer. /side note]

Here's your HP tidbit of the day:
Ten (10) Things HP Interns (and the world at large) Can Do to Make Me a Happy Editor (and person) [otherwise known at 10THPICDtMMaHE, or The List]
1. Times New Roman, black, size 12 font, single spaced, one space after the period, no justification, a full space between paragraphs with no indentation. Please and thank you.
2. Your full or published name in the word document, preferably at the very top of the page, with...
3. A headline!
4. No more articles about sports until I say so. Say, like...January. Unless you want to write about skiing, gymnastics, ice skating, horseback riding, swimming....largely because I like them...or maybe some little know sport, so long as it's interesting and informative. Like, say, Rugby. I don't know much about Rugby. Or...croquet. Talk to me about the athleticism of croquet. It's rather satisfying to smack a croquet ball, did you know?
5. All articles in separate MS word documents, pretty please.
6. If you aren't sending me articles for a week, let me know. Before the deadline. Please.
7. When in doubt, write more, not less! I can always get out the pruning shears. I think maybe I'll up the minimum number of words...
8. Please spell my name right. It's Britt or Brittany. You can get away with Brit too. My name isn't Britney, though. :shiver: That's the name on my dentist's files though. I'm not very pleased with them.
9. Write me a quiz, poppets! I like quizzes...no more about "what kind of friend are you" and the like, though. We've got a few.
10. Don't change your mind in the middle of an article. It's not a good idea.


I bet every one's just jumping at the bit, now! Well...what are you waiting for? As Meryl Streep said in The Devil Wears Prada: "Go..."

That is all.
