(no subject)

So I keep thinking I'm feeling better, overexerting myself massively and then utterly crashing. I am feeling better bit by bit, but still, I do feel pretty crap. I had work to do last night but just had to go to bed hours before I generally do.

Frustrating to say the least.

peeve of the day

The casual, sloppy use of the word "apprentice" most notably on Craigslist when people are looking for folks to work for less than minimum wage picking up their dry cleaning and include utterly no mention of what on earth these potential slave laborers might, in-fact, be accorded the opportunity to apprentice in (other than being an exploitive dick on Craigslist).

Granted, I am a hard-ass about nuance in language and apprenticeship is one of those obsessions of mine on a lot of levels, but seriously, someone other than me must find this not just irritating but unspeakably gauche.
