So right now I'm putting off a project I should pretty much have done - I'm sure many of you are familiar with that prediciment. The project is this - a friend of mine who is a professor at Lesley University has a contract to turn her PhD dissertation into a reference book. It seems like it would be pretty easy right? Just take out anything that might sound like it was written right to the committee and update any research that may have been done since the dissertation's publication...right? Well it would be easy except the dissertation is written in APA style and for some reason the publishing house wants it in Chicago Style. They are totally different ways of writing and frankly Chicago Style is a pain in the ass.
So today I'm not getting dressed, I'm going to sit in my father's easy chair with my computer on my lap, work on this silly thing and watch the Patriots hopefully win.
Wish me luck.

Amen. Chicago style is antiquated (or should be, anyway). Time to form The Resistance...
:)
Yes! The Resistance!!!
Good luck with that Jenn! I know you can do it!
I have no idea what the difference is between the two formats. I checked your links, but I am still in the dark.
