compassFellow Altered Fluidian Kris Dikeman has a story up for the storySouth Million Writers Award.  Her story, “Nine Sundays in a Row” was published online by Strange Horizons.  It’s honestly one of my favorite stories from the past two years from any market and any author.  Truly a wonderful bit of storytelling.

It pays to be annoying sometimes

img00006-20090422-1628One of my biggest pet peeves is the misuse and swapping about of the words “than” and “then”.  Drives me absolutely nuts.  So much so that at my old desktop support position I continually corrected the call tracking tickets of others and let them know of their mistake whenever they’d use one in the place of the other.  Flash-forward two years, I’m back at the law firm as a consultant for a Blackberry rollout project, and I see the reminder in the photo attached to a co-worker’s monitor.

Makes me smile.
