Progress

I spoke to Ann this morning, asking her who I should talk to about other openings here at McGraw-Hill [1]. The answer was that she is the person who knows, and she asked for a copy of my resume. So I took a quick look at the file I'd sent myself last night, expanded the section on what I've done here slightly, renamed the file to $myname_resume instead of resume_editorial_$date, and sent it to her.

It also transpired that she thinks they might extend this gig a few days; I'd like to know, one way or the other, so I can plan errands and appointments.

[1] wild_irises, did I say Wiley? If so, sorry about the confusion.

Inspiring, or worrying

minnehaha K. asked "Who is the strongest person in your family?" and after a moment's thought, I think it may be me.

I don't know whether this is encouraging--hey, look how tough I am!--or worrying, given what I know about the places where I'm not strong.

I suspect that if she'd asked on a different day, I'd have given a different answer.

Inch by inch, and row by row

I just got an email from my boss, which begins "Vicki--I'm extending you through 9/16, just make it a nice even week." (It goes on to discuss details and scheduling stuff.)

Not bad, for four weeks beginning 19 July.
