WTF? I'm not invisible when I'm on call at 2am. Doesn't even make sense. By that logic when I'm on call I should just shut off the ringer and get a good nights sleep, after all, supposedly that's invisible.
You are only visible to people when they need you. If you're not available when they need you, they assume that you're always unavailable. You think people are thinking about YOU when they're asleep at 2AM? And when they -are- in distress at 2AM and you answer a call, you think the pressing thought in their mind is that you were there, and not the problem they're experiencing that's freaking them the fuck out at 2AfuckingM? Why would they be impressed that you're doing the job that you're being paid to do -- afterall, if they're calling you at 2AM, they're in the middle of doing their own job; you want special kudos? People are self-centered, and Information Technology is thankless; it's not going to change, and you'll be happier if you just accept it, even if it's not fair.
I am aware that he doesn't even read the content of the submissions he posts.
I am 100% aware of this.
I am an atheist.
And yet I pray, I pray to the fucking universe, to the space-time continuum, and to faster-than-light neutrons, that Timothy reads this comment and enrolls himself in a goddamned fucking community college Writing 101 course.

Who the fuck is "Cerf" Timothy? How can you possibly not realize what a poor summary that is? What exactly does it feel like to fail upward? Does it feel like floating? Is that why you don't give a shit about your one and only job here: goddamned fucking editing?
On the other hand, did the B&N spokesman clarify how removing books from sale helps B&N to fulfill the prose "to make available any book, anywhere, anytime"? Surely its counter productive to that promise?
By definition of the exclusivity deal, B&N can't make the e-book version of the book available, and so if they're literally unable to make that version of the book available, how could they honestly say that they can make the "book available [on the nook], anytime"?
You have no barometer that tells you when information is relevant, or when more information is necessary. You're a complete failure at this job, you're ineptitude makes the reader have to do more work, so please do us a favor and quit, and if you don't quit, I hope your superiors read this post and understand that you should be fired.
Get rid of AC, and make shitheaded idiots like "apk" sign up for an account so his ignorant, aggressive, asperger ramblings can be banned.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
