About Me
- moonrat
- I'm a recovering editorial assistant. I'm like most of my kind: impoverished coffee-and-gin survivalists, underpaid but ambitious, bitter but hopeful. Painfully self-conscious, woefully self-congratulatory, willfully self-indulgent. Yes, I'm white, but I'm trying to get over it. Accurate spelling (to the dismay of my boss) is not among my interests. So read forgivingly.

Sorry Moonie! Best of luck!
If King Kong trashes Hawaii while you've got your head down, I'll let you know...
Hang in there! We'll be here when you come back Good luck with everything.
Good luck with the workload!
You should be sorry!
Your blog comes first, OBVSLY.
Hang in there. Work eases eventually.
