Is it ok if I do something else while waiting for it?
Yeah me too?
Pfft.
I am going to sit right here and wait patiently, like I’ve been told.
*drums fingers on desk*
I’m getting bored. What if I look at pictures of squid or something while I’m waiting?
I’ll just read this copy of People from April 2007.
I’m getting a permanent marker pen & fill in the missing bits on the faces whilst listening to White Stripes….oh yeah…..
If it’s more than one editor, shouldn’t it be “From The Editors’ Desk”?
Aeolius,
Great question and open for debate. Each post from our new series will be authored by either Kevin or I. From a single editor’s desk. We will probably never coauthor these posts nor do Kevin and I share a single desk. So the question is it more accurate to state editor’s desk, editors’ desk, or editors’ desks?
So you’re saying there are two editors and two desks? Sounds like Editors’ Desks, though I guess you could say “From an Editor’s Desk”
