Thanks, Cinisajoy. I ate
CHOCOLATE-covered pretzels tonight.
For DINNER. And that's NOT me. I'm not a Bridget Jones. I don't stress-eat; I've never sat down with a spoon and a carton of ice-cream (true, really--never have). But today...I ate Chocolate-covered Pretzels for bloody dinner.

Free, I have that coffee cup, I kid thee not. Have had it for dogs' years. It goes wherever I go.
What bugs me the MOST is there is actually MORE work for me to do now, than if he'd just asked me to do the whole thing--the whole damned print book--in the first place. People just don't seem to understand that when things get bollixed,
it takes more work to fix it, than to do it correctly in the first place. I admit, I was speechlessly infuriated that he could be SO CLUELSS as to say, "well, gosh, isn't there a program that will 'just' grab the page numbers for the entries, and put 'em in there?" As usual, it was so...cavalier, so dismissive of WHY indexing companies/people charge what they DO, to do what they DO. In hindsight, I should have said, "sure, just like I could use Grammerly instead of paying you to edit client X's work, right???"
Ya get what ya pays for kiddies. You heard it here first. {SIGH}
