Job!

Whoo-hoo!

I just got an e-mail with login credentials to do online proofreading. I'll update this in a bit, once I get to the WGOWC.

UPDATE: Okay, I was going to give details, but upon thinking of the Paste Patrol's recent shitslinging activities, I've decided to be slightly obtuse about the details. At any rate... I was told about this job by the fellow whose wife hits him with a broom, occasionally, whenever we fail to do certain things. :) He works for this outfit, and has hiring authority for the on-site folks, but apparently doesn't have much to do with the online side of it. So, mystery man, if you did put in a good word for me, I thank you for that -- and thank you for letting me know about the opportunity!

I went through the online tutorial, and it looks straightforward enough. I even loaded one page to see if the interface was like what was described in the tutorial, and it was, pretty much... with the exception that the scanned page JPG that one must use to compare the text-editor side with was way too huge for even the GWPDA Coalition notebook's ample screen. So, some experimenting with resolution and possible multi-monitor setups may be required to make this all work out. That will begin in earnest tomorrow.

Hey, I got the same notice from the same company...apparently at the same time. Ran through a few pages and it isn't bad, although I have some questions for SuperProofer or whatever our Overlord's title is.

This makes us coworkers, meaning we can sneak off to the water cooler together and bitch about things and sneak smokes. Kewl! :)

Cool! Congratulations!

Do they need anyone else? I got slaughtered at my job interview yesterday, and my book's been pushed back six weeks, and I need cash! Yeek!

Hey, wow -- looks like you didn't get slammed with any karmic liability for my copying that Bears album!

Oh-oh. That means I better look out, I guess ...

Thank you, one and all -- I have resolved my technical issues, and will put in a full day of proofing on Tuesday, I assure you!
