NatWest lost my last paycheck. Well, not exactly lost, but it was never cashed by them, and they don't know what happened to it. Fine. However, they fail to realize that this is not an little error, but a big mistake on their part, considering it's not a good thing to find out that one's budget is all out of whack because the money was never put into the checking account (and this was 200 GBP).

Grrrr.

Is anyone else NOT surprised by how the plagirism contriversy of some chick lit book is spurring on book sales?

Well, duh. Didn't we see the same thing with A Million Little Pieces, after it came out that the author lied in his memoir?

(and now I'm trying to figure out a way to have a minor contriversy when my book ever gets published).
