off to the orifice

I'm spending a few Sunday hours in the office today to get a head start on the final bit of content-creation for the textbook I'm working on. If I finish this final chapter by Tuesday, we can have our luncheon event on Wednesday, and once we're back from the Chuseok/Foundation Day holiday the following week, I can devote the rest of the first two weeks of October purely to proofreading. Proofreading is boring at the best of times, and it doesn't help that our designer, who speaks only a little English, introduces more errors into the text than are already there when he receives the ms to work on. Whatever; I'd do as badly as he does if I had to design a textbook written entirely in Korean. Anyway, early October will be a combination of hard slog and desperate rush as I try to proofread three textbooks' worth of mss before I head off to my long walk. Prayers and pixie dust welcome.
