unseverable law

As a health writer for a newspaper, I used to tease reporters who would say, “I have calls in” when they were asked about something happening on their beat.

“You have calls in? Why are you waiting for someone to call you back? Call their boss and their boss’s boss until you get your questions answered.”

Yet in Monday’s post about the Illinois Division of Professional Regulation, I basically told readers, “I have calls in.”

And my editor called me on it.
