I think I may be the most organized person on this project, and that worries me.
On Friday, they said they were sending me a sample test for reference. It wasn't in today's mail, so I asked if they could fax me at least the part relevant to the chapter I'm currently working on. Rafiq called me, apologized for its not having been mailed, and offered to bring it over here. I said yes, and gave him directions. (This, by the way, makes two calls today in which people explained that the reason the Post Office hadn't delivered something was that it hadn't been mailed.)
Rafiq came up, introduced me to a friend who was in the elevator with him, then handed me an addressed, stamped Priority Mail envelope. As long as he was here, I asked if they were happy with Microsoft Word files, or would prefer plain text. "We haven't gotten that far," he said, then told me Word would be fine. I assured him that if there was a problem, I can make plain text.

cattitude and I ate dinner, and I observed that I seem more organized than they do. Also that I know more about the Hittites than I did at this time yesterday, though still not much.
Then I opened the envelope. The cover letter with the sample test is dated today. This is not encouraging, except in the sense that they may not lean on me if I fall behind. The cover letter in question suggests that I "take a practice runthrough." I don't think so. Look at it, yes. Actually sit down with the clock or the #2 pencil, no.
Also,papersky wrote something very cool about me.
