Yay for Nana! She am smart.

I've taken another day off to reduce the imposing scale of the impending last-minute rush. I finished Chapter 11 last night and was marking it up just now when I had my chill well and truly harshed by some pinhead phoning to sell me a book of unbelievable free offers for only $95. Quite apart from the fact that I am so not the target market for that sort of crap, I hate it when people don't understand the basic irony (in the American sense, thanks Jimbo) of requiring that something free be paid for. And this guy would not take a polite “no thanks”, so I was forced to resort to a fairly curt “I'm going to hang up now”, to which I wanted to add “Do you really think you can get me to buy your junk by arguing with me?” and “Take this number off your goddamn list right now”.
And now I'm in a pissy, irritable mood and I have another 5000-word goal in front of me. Grrr.
