magidthis morning as i was just about to start checking the index (again, or still, or whatever. this is not a task i can work on solidly for hours...), i found out that what i had thought i was going to be working on after this book may change completely.
i t would be on an ancillary, rather that a student edition, which would usually be less than exciting, but in this case, it's a new ancillary, and working with almost the most advanced math we do, so i'm excited.
i also had the first of 6 editorial training sessions. i still haven't decided if it is a good or bad thing i was chosen for it. i've been working here 8.5 years (really? doesn't seem *that* long, but it is), have the most experience of anyone in the course (by a noticeable amount, too) - i'm hoping this means not that they've just kept me on until now and are finally getting me trained right, but that it's seen as useful for a more experienced editor to have gone through training, so stuff can be passed on to others, or something. the definite irritation about it (other than 3 hours/week that i just know no one will reduce the rest of my workload comensurately for) is that there's homework! ok, yes, it's reasonable stuff, i guess, but 6 things to do/read for homework? i asked how long they expect the assignments to take... (an hour, supposedly). still, so far it has been reasonably informative, and it is a change of pace from the other stuff i do..
