The endless cycle continues. But then, if it didn’t, I guess it wouldn’t be endless, now would it? As always, good luck!

So that was Thursday

So today was pretty much just your quintessential Thursday, nothing special about it. I spent most of it reading through a manuscript on animal-assisted therapy that I helped contract, plus attending a presentation on an “introduction to market research.” This latter just helped underline that, while there are some overlapping methods to how I and the developmental editors in other departments conduct our day-to-day work, theirs is organized in very different ways.

Tomorrow is Friday, then a three-day weekend, and then apparently I will finally be having my yearly performance review sometime next week. I don’t expect it to go poorly at all, but they’re always nerve-wracking, a difficult process that seems to get more convoluted and complicated with each passing year.

Oh well. The three-day weekend thing is nice. Especially since this time I don’t have to take any vacation time to swing it.
