As I mentioned, my company has a new CEO. The publisher (Linda) brought him around to meet the editorial people, briefly, one-on-one this morning. When she introduced me, she told him that I'd started as a copyeditor, but had had "such a wealth of knowledge" that they promoted me. I added that Wendy had said she didn't want to risk losing me. (A quiet modesty might have been more appropriate, but I didn't think of that at the time.) I answered his question by saying I mostly do science books, especially middle-school and high school, and math when they can spare me from science.
Also, I went to the gym after work. They had a "spin this wheel and answer the true/false question it lands on," and after saying "false" to "there are three muscles behind the quadriceps," I was told I had won a "fitness orientation," which I think means I get another tour of the gym, and maybe a chance to ask about some specific machines. (That seemed, based on the person who spun after me, to be the standard thing, though they may have been giving a few more valuable prizes.) The gym was crowded: after work, in January. I expect it will be less so in a month.
