A certain degree of productivity
I haven't felt like I've been entirely firing on all cylinders since I got back from Minneapolis, what between the remnants of jetlag, the lingering effects of the cold, etc, but these 10 days or have not been unproductive.
Completion of joint chapter (this involved grinding out a snappy concluding paragraph as well as agreeing final text, checking refs, etc) and sending it off to volume editors - check.
Wrestling with proofs (I thought we were supposed to be getting a reversion to the text before the Really Weird Shit happened to it somewhere along the line, but you couldn't prove that by me) and getting corrections off to volume editor - check.
Report on article for journal editors - check.
Report on article for editor of another journal - check.
Title, abstract and biographical summary to international conference organisers - check.
Misc admin stuff done, or at least moves made towards getting something happening.
CV updated.
Website updated.
Rather belated report on research done during fellowship last year - more or less ready to go, only needs covering letter.
I can now sit and twiddle my thumbs for a bit... maybe.
At work: usual Closed Week shelf-checking allocation completed. Significant contribution to this year's file-athon made - even though project turned out to be more than straightforward filing (collection is so less already catalogued than we were given to understand). Most of article on [certain kind of archives] for the [particular kind of researcher] for A Magazine completed, though had panic this pm when I re-read the specs and realised that what they had told me about the wordage only applied to part of what they wanted, so I have been doing some hasty recasting.
