Copy manager
Quote
(Michael is a former copy manager and current editor-in-chief)
Katie: The copy manager has to see every page.
Michael: Yes, I know.
Evan: Just so you know, Michael. Since you know nothing about copy editing.
Nice things
Quote
(Evan spills cookie bits all over the table.)
Emily: Way to make a mess in the office, Evan. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Evan: I thought *you* were the reason we couldn’t have nice things
Purging
Quote
(Talking about staff email list purging)
Michael: Alex has had a number of purges. Sort of like Stalin in that way…
Stacey
Quote
(Michael wants to talk to Stacey)
Michael: People who are Stacey…
Hypothetical
Quote
Evan: This conversation is talking about a hypothetical.
Anna: This conversation isn’t actually real… it’s just hypothetical.
Shit
Quote
(Talking about being copy manager for next year)
Katie: You’ve also established better inter-staff connections, which I think is important. The copy manager needs to be someone who can be like, “This page sucks balls.”
Evan: “What is this shit?!”
Optimal
Quote
Michael: What would be optimal is if the copy manager and editor in chief could travel opposite directions in time so one of them is always awake.
Story time
Quote
Everyone: Story time story time!
Michael: Story time only happens if everyone is quiet and listens intently. AND MULTITASKS.
brillobox

Emily: Greg didn’t know something?
Anna: He thought brillobox was capitalized.
Michael: It’s in the style guide.
Greg: I’ve told you guys it’s provably false that I know everything.
Celia: That was the one thing he didn’t know. NOW he knows everything.
