[personal profile] freckles_and_doubt
Yesterday's favourite student howler: gave curriculum advice to a young lady who's determined to do her Law "bar code exam". New developments in the legal profession: all our graduates can scan bar codes with their teeth.

This review/reshuffle of the index is far more major a job than I'd anticipated, and will take me every non-student-advice-giving moment up until the deadline on Thursday. (So you're off the hook, [livejournal.com profile] librsa, with your kind offer of proofreading - there simply ain't time. But thank you anyway. The willingness of all and sundry to pitch into this book-writing lark is heart-warming, although possibly insane. Three separate people in the last week have asked for a rundown on the topic. Poor suckers). I also discover, however, that either the organic processes of indexing mean my criteria for entries change all the time, or I simply can't count. The word search approach is revealing all sorts of simply wrong page numbers, I don't know what the hell I was thinking at the time. Possibly "aargh". But at least it is getting a fairly thorough proof-read.

In other news, maybe it's indexing which gives me gut cramps. Or simply the stress. But I'm pale and nauseous again. Phooey.
