I have this weird fear that on Friday morning they&#8217;re going to tell us that it was all a hoax, or that they&#8217;ve decided to call it off, and we&#8217;ll have worked nine extra hours for nothing. Of course, our e-mail server has been pretty unreliable the past couple of days, so I guess I could always claim that I didn&#8217;t get that announcement. Either way, I&#8217;m looking forward to leaving early on Friday, but I&#8217;m definitely already feeling those extra forty-five minutes each day.<\/p>\n<p>With the exception of conferences, I haven&#8217;t really worked any &#8220;overtime&#8221; in years. (And even conferences include a free trip somewhere.)<\/p>\n<p>This evening, I took a different train out of Manhattan, to meet my parents at the eye doctor and drive them home. Which is about the extent of the excitement here for this Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>I did, however, finally decide to close <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaleidotrope.net\/\">Kaleidotrope<\/a> down to submissions starting August 15. I&#8217;ll re-open on January 1. This will hopefully ease some of the pressure at my end, since I&#8217;m already at least two or three issues ahead; while the slush pile is pretty manageable, a break is always nice, as is being able to publish stories less than two or three years after acceptance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The summer hours thing sure aren&#8217;t making this week go any faster, I can tell you that much.
