(no subject)

My big accomplishment of the morning is an excess of annoyance at Microsoft Word. I'm putting together all the segments of the PhD (dissertation, bibliography, novel and etc) to make a whole that can be submitted. Word, in its wisdom, decided to change half my text to a brand new font (Cambria, if you're someone who seeks significance in fonts) and then to change my footnotes to a variety of fonts and sizes. I think I've caught all the changes and am just waiting to see if my supervisor wants to see it again before I transform it to pdf for the first time. Because I have to submit a pdf version as well as the hard copies, we will be spending the next few days going through pdf versions until they behave nicely. A background in publishing makes a modern PhD easier, I have to admit. I don't like this stuff, but I know how to do it. I also know when to call for help, as I did yesterday when three hyperlinks refused to behave.

And that was my morning. My body is doing the stressing so that my mind doesn't have to - it's very efficient that way.
