The other day, I wanted to make a quick copy. When I got to the copy room, a guy was already using the machine. He had a small book and there were about fifty post-it flags marking which pages he wanted to copy. I stood there waiting for a little while and he turned to me, saying, "I'm going to be a minute." I said that was fine and continued waiting. After he did a few more copies, he said, "I'm going to be a minute."
Oooooh. He's talking about one of those long minutes that will last for a while!
Silly me, and here I thought people who worked in publishing are supposed to be good with words!
