An unofficial part of my job is proofreading almost everything that leaves this company - user guides, newsletters, wording within our software itself. But for some reason the marketing department (which I'm officially a PART of, I might add) refuses all of my suggestions. So our ads frequently leave with such insane errors. Because the head of marketing has something against me and won't let me help her look unstupid.<BR/><BR/>So maybe there is a similarly beautiful, brilliant, and wonderful woman just like me at J. Crew. But the VP of marketing hates her and won't let her proofread just to piss her off.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840377765937929376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33976691.post-69755986763036301752008-07-15T13:21:00.000-07:002008-07-15T13:21:00.000-07:00way to stick it to them!
