Yes, I know it's been a while. Yes, I know you don't care. Okay let's continue shall we?
So I recently began a new big-girl job as a copywriter! Whoop whoop! English degrees aren't so useless now, are they, Dad? ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW, PAPA??
Basically my job is to make stupid people sound halfway intelligent. A customer wants a website designed, so the sales team transcribes everything about their business and sends it to me to turn into well-written paragraphs and such.
Well, the majority of the sales team are, to put it gently, as dumb as a bag of rocks. They don't understand the concept of grammar or simply asking the customer to repeat that last sentence, please. Nope, they write down everything they hear as is.
I've gotten bogus information about non-existent cities, provinces, and celebrities (lady said she worked on "How I Met Your Mother" with Patrick Michael Harris. Seriously?). But there is one instance that I just can't. . . I just can't.
