If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you

*taking notes on how to survive the rest of college*
In the mid-nineties, your survival kit would have included
Music from Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, Enigma, Sade, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, and The Cranberries
Movies from early Tarantino
Marijuana from... God
And sweet bosomy comfort from the almost unreal but definitely real boobies of a petite, doe-eyed sorority girl named Dana.

But dh, instead of ordering a new recruit, aren't you supposed to get them to do it in ways they never see coming? Butter 'em up (or in your case, honey 'em up), so to speak.
Hey, he called himself a recruit and all I could think of was the Marine Corps. I thought I did a pretty pathetic job attempting to work within his paradigm.

So it's 2010 and my survival kit includes:
Music from an old boombox that gets about three stations, a collection of twenty CDs, including some jazz, blues, and rock.
No movies and no TV.
Drugs . . . too many but all scripts.
Diet Dr Pepper. Lots of it. Really cold.
And the sweet bosomy comfort from the not even close to real but definitely stuffed fuzzy puppy without a name.

Marines??? What about Army? Navy? Air Force? Coast Guard? Reserves? CIA? FBI?

You poor dear. I did law school like that. It's no way to live.
Have you considered trolling for a sugardaddy? You're young and clever; there most be some sucker within eyelash batting range.

If all else fails, the lost-looking puppy that only knows how to make puppy eyes at people, then come back (slowly enough to be followed).

Watching Again
Watched "Pump Up The Volume" last night, just woke up, gonna watch it again. And then to editing a few stories I just received. After all, this IS the editor's forum...and the wife's away, so I can do whatever I want!
Wait, that sounds like I can't do whatever I want when she's here... thinking...

They must be really short if you're editing a few in a single day.
I was thinking the same thing. I've got two 40 page stories sitting in my inbox and if I had nothing else to do all day, I might be able to edit both of them but as it is, I'm going to flip a coin and spend some time outside.

Several months ago I made a chart to track all the edits I did. On average, with comments and explanations, it took me right at thirty minutes to edit one single-spaced Times New Roman 12-point Word page.
That's marking passive voice, grammar, spelling, punctuation, flow, marking the over-use of 'ly' words, repetition, incorrect use of dialogue tags, tense and POV shifts, etc., and citing the CMS to back my comments.

I'm just starting to edit them, who knows how long I'll drag it out.

If I have to dig into the Chicago Manual of Style I can spend up to an hour on a single phrase. But it's not about speed, it's sbout being correct. Or so I see it.

But not for free. There's a paycheck there, not so here. Atleast not so far. Could happen, I suppose.

Well, true. For the stories here, you'd have to subtract the "practice" time from the total editing time.

When I kept track last year I was editing for several first-time writers. That meant tons of comments and explanations.
The piece I have now is double spaced, 1.25 margins, Times New Roman, 12-pitch, 150 pages, right at 40,000 words. The only thing I'm monitoring is the approaching deadline.

I meant... um... at heart. Yep, young at.
That works.
Cause somehow I don't think starting college after fifty is considered young.

I might be wrong, but my understanding is that a marine is a "recruit' through his/her entire training regime and is not considered an "anything" until having earned it, unlike the Army and other military branches, where one carries the awarded rank (depending on education level) upon arrival at basic training. As for the FBI and CIA, I'm clueless ... maybe he's a CIA recruit doing undercover training on Litsters.
PF, at a few dozen posts, still considered himself a "recruit". My mind just ran to Marines. I'm sure he'd look great in any service uniform. It's a man thing.

I'm not from a military family, so I'm clueless on the topic to be honest. Okay, not quite clueless, but close. Some day that may change, but not today.

You are recruited for the CIA, but once in, you aren't called/considered that. There is a core "career trainee" cadre (trained to do all sorts of things), but they aren't called recruits either. They are referred to as CTs throughout their career.
