Home work (ii)
Thursday, April 27th, 2006 12:24 pmI arranged to work from home for some peace and quiet to get the proof reading done and finished.
There is a man out back torturing large lumps of metal with an angle grinder. From the noise it is making, I consider that the metal is in some distress over this sustained torture.
So am I.
Edited to add: At lunchtime, I am nearly halfway through the proof read. It is quite amazing what you can do when there are no interruptions. It has been helped by the fact that this is actually an excellent proof copy; 106 pages in and I have found only 1 mistake, although I have suggested a several formatting changes.
At this rate, I should be finished by about 4 this afternoon!
