Dennis Creevey: Stakeout #37
I don't know why my editor insists on changing the title of every single piece that's handed into her. It's not that her titles are bad - they use a few too many puns sometimes, but then we are writing for the Prophet - it's just that no matter how good a title you write, she always changes it up.

For example, I had this article published yesterday:

Fine right? Well yeah, apart from the fact that I had to literally get on my hands and knees to get her to keep that title and not change it to "All fur one and one fur all" which apart from being horribly punny, would have fallen rather flat with anyone who hasn't happened to have read the Three Musketeers.

Anyway, how is everyone? This journal is keeping me awake on possibly the most boring stakeout in the history of stakeouts. The joys of being the junior reporter on the beat, right?

I don't know what you did to the cupboard but it nearly decapitated me yesterday. Fix it before I get home, please.

[Warded to Seamus]
Princess, I haven't seen you in forever and I am beginning to pout about it. We need to fix this now.

	We all have to suffer the lower end of the ladder if we want to eventually get to the top, Den. But just look at what a wonderful education you're getting on what not to do! Just don't do anything to her that would land her in my ward, okay? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh my Godric, Ern! I would never attack her! I'd lose my job, and I guess it would be unchivalrous. But mostly I'd lose my job. I lost a boyfriend and a best friend for this job, I won't jeopardise it over a soon-to-be-forced-into-retirement editor. Do you have to deal with twats at St Mungo's then?

	I don't think you would, it was just a joke that obviously missed its mark. Bureaucracy in its many forms always comes with twats in all shapes and sizes. Some of us do our jobs because we love what we do, and some are there for power or prestige or because its expected of them, and take their misery and anal retentiveness out on the rest of us.
