Congratulations on the less soul-destroying job, **Eve**! > [@Eve](#): > > …from what they tell me, I’ll be culling good, usable photos from their archives… If you’re culling the good ones, I’m pretty sure we can expect to you be back to rant about workplace insanity some more. (Now you _have_ to come back, because there’s no way that the last thing I say to you is going to be that pedantic, darling.) 😉 ---

Darn you, Eve. Just as my office moved back to Midtown, you’re moving away. (Hmmmm . . . I wonder if they could be connected.) Good luck in the new gig. ---

Congratulations and best of luck on the new job. It does sound quite interesting. Learning Photoshop should be fun. The comment about removing the hyphens is the strangest thing I’ve ever heard. They look weird? Riiiight. Have fun **Eve**! Come back when you can. ---

I wish you the best with the new job. Sounds fantastic! I still break into a round of mental Rhinestone Jesus when feasting my eyes upon well, you know, rhinestone Jesuses (Jesusi?) and boy do we have a lot of those here! And for that, I thank you. ---
