So yeah, the journals aren't working and I wish to spread my news :)

I'm now working in the Oxford University Press!! :) In the production department where they make all the Teaching English books. It's soooo cool! There's a museum where they have all the scraps of the original Oxford English Dictionary that the guy who made it kept. He asked all his mates to send him definitions for words, and made the whole OED up JUST by doing that until eventually it started as a company.

But how cool is that :) And as a matter of fact, the whole complete and unabridged OED takes up almost an entire Library, and costs well over £50,000. Funkay! :)

And it always smells of new paper in here!
