Despite the title being a steal from the Alison Krauss album, this is actually a blog about books and other new favorite things.

Much instruction for happy use

Ack. I have wasted 10 minutes reading Engrish.com and now I can't seem to write the instructions for the delinquency processing module. I can't even use the term "Delinquency Processing Module" with a straight face. I'm a technical writer (which explains why my text is prose-less) and it is so easy to read it from an Engrish standpoint and decide that no matter what I write, two things are true:

  1. Nearly no one will read it.
  2. The people who read it will be tempted to send it in to Engrish.com.

Well, it is time to get back to describing what happens when self-storage tenants don't pay their rent. (In case you are wondering, the storage place auctions your crap for what it is worth; which is a lot less than what you are paying to store it.)
