So I'm not off the hook yet — I'm still behind, need to write 10 more pages if I'm to catch up by Monday, in fact... but I've turned in the first 15 pages to my workshop group. You can read and possibly comment on those pages, if you'd like. It's about blogs, and who doesn't love blogs?

I would have had some time to work on the thesis, but I was on campus from noon to five and I realized just as I was about to drift off to sleep last night that I'd already committed myself to delivering a nearly-identical "special issue" of last week's campus newspaper early this morning.

What made it so special? A typo that I'm certain I would have caught if I'd been copy-editing the paper, even on one of those nights when I was flying solo and it was three in the morning and the printer was down so we couldn't print out proofs and everyone wanted to sleep and it's a newspaper Peter!

As Layout once said, famously.

Anyways, there were complaints. Word on the street is that a provost got involved. While recycling the old editions, I couldn't help but remember that I'd applied for a copy editor position with this very paper, so, yeah.

Also, apparently I was paid for my time today in gratitude, which will not buy me potatoes at the co-op.
