unexpected backpats

[chelidon]

Very strange. Got the cover piece back from the senior editor, who is a real pro. I'm not used to having hard-nosed editors gush at me, especially when I'm late with copy. I expected some not-so-subtle admonishments about deadlines, and instead I get effusive praise, and, "Why is it that you don't write for me more often?!!" A very nice way to start the weekend.

May your weekend be filled with unexpected delights and happy surprises!
