Beware the Ides of March

There is no other way to put it: This month is going to blow. I have a 60-90 page Comment to write by the beginning of April, I just got new research to do for my job, classes are starting to reach that "ok, I'm pretty far into the semester and still don't really understand what's going on; this could be a problem" stage, and I arrived at school today to find a nice, thick Sub & Cite in my mailbox. Along with the Sub & Cite, I got an email informing me that there would be "special problems" with my article, about which I would have to speak to the Editor in Chief. I immediately got supremely pissed off and launched myself into an unfortunate fit of self-pity and bitchiness. When I knocked on the editor's door to inquire about my article's so-called "special problems," I learned that the citations would be kind of tricky because the footnotes are in really bad shape. [The original version of this post explained why the footnotes were so thorny, but I've been advised that it might not be a good idea to post the details on my blog. Suffice it to say that the article is rough for good reason.] And so, as I said before, March is going to seriously blow. Or maybe it will just suck. Either way, it's not good. But at least I should be done with the Sub & Cite before St. Patrick's day.
