Thursday, 7 April

I feel like I'm losing steam. The semester is over in a month and I'm anxious for the job start and school to be over. I'm graduating in May, after a total 15 years in school. I'm not entirely convinced I won't end up in Grad School eventually, but still, I feel a chapter of my life is ending, and I have tredipation about starting something new. Not that, assuming I get a job with Partnership, it won't be the easiest transition between "chapters" I will have ever made/make in my life. Still, it's a change, and a big one at that, and I am anxious about it.

Today I proofread the Brookdale Foundation Final Report about our Transitions programme. Transitions started at Peter's Place and, as part of the Continuum of Care model, assists seniors getting back on their feet and employable after a bout of homelessness. The report is sloppy. The GW has made much of the same errors she makes on all the other proposals, a function of copying and pasting 'general' material from other proposals/reports that I've not yet proofread. This is infuriating and frustrating to me. I'm glad to be of assistance and also glad that I notice these things before the proposals go out (what would happen if I didn't look over them???), but I'll be damned if it's not irritating. Fortunately, I have developed a relationship with the GW that allows for us to have an open, honest discussion where we can be upset about something and not offend each other. So, we had a longer than usual editing conversation today and I'm not sure that anything will come of it. I certainly hope she doesn't feel like I'm angry with her and avoid putting proposals/reports under my nose before submitting them. That would certainly be the antithesis of what I was trying to do.
