Life as Ash

Be gentle. It’s my first post, thought I’m a long time lurker.

<( First, the cover – I get that the girl is Jessica, but is the boy supposed to be Ronnie or Bruce? )

Woot, two recaps in a row from me! I can't believe nobody has recapped the famous Senior Year book where Elizabeth...waits for it...goes bad! She goes bad, bad I say! It took me a little while, but I've found my copy and am raring to snark whatever Elizabeth's idea of 'bad' is.

The cover seems to be an early indication of what Elizabeth's idea of being a bad girl is -- wearing a baby blue sweater and leaning on Conner's shoulder. (He is, after all, a bad boy.) I think she's past help, badness-wise. Also, you probably can't tell from that picture, but Conner's eyes are ridiculously bloodshot, so it's probably safe to say that he's drunk right now.

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
