[HPFGU-OTChatter] Of human errors

[OctobersChild48 at aol.com]

 Carol:


Having just made a pretty big blunder on the main list, mistaking

comments relating to Eileen and Tobias Snape for comments relating to

Andromeda and Ted Tonks, mentioned in the previous paragraph of the

post, I now have increased sympathy for JKR as a human being capable

of error. I can't remember exactly how old her youngest children are

now, but I believe that Mackenzie (sp?) is about a year old and David

about two, and she also has an older daughter, Jessica, about ten (?),

as well as a husband and the usual family obligations like paying

bills and so forth. All that plus the pressures of being a celebrity

and producing a much-anticipated work on a deadline.



Really, we shouldn't be surprised that it's flawed.

 Sandy:
It is statements like this that make me so furious. Since when is having family responsibilities a free pass for doing a crappy job? My company's policy is: You leave your personal problems and life at the door when you walk in. I have family responsibilities and have to pay the bills, and with very little money I might add, but that does not give me a free pass at work. I make a mistake I face disciplinary action for it, and they don't care what my personal problems are. She chose to get married and have a family, and she chose her career. If she can't handle both she needs to give one of them up. What makes it all so different for her? Grrrrr. And, btw, Mackenzie is almost 3, David is 5 and Jessica just turned 14 last month.

Sandy, who cuts JKR no slack because she has "obligations" family or otherwise.
