screwing up for 3 hours

[sergebroom]

News of the week... I got a Service Award in the interoffice mail, along with a gift card, due to a recommendation from one of our users. Yesterday, the manager of a group I'd helped wrote to me "You're the best." Last night, I spent more than 3 hours putting a desk together for my wife, and it involved more turning of the screw than the Henry James novel did. Finally, my wife, who recently got a contract for a contemporary fantasy trilogy for Tor, also received an offer or a 3-book contract with Harlequin.

It seems like your work keeps recognizing how invaluable you are! Good!

And I look forward to reading your wife's upcoming books... keep me updated :)

Thanks. As for my wife's writing, the story that gave birth to her fantasy trilogy will be in anthology to be published soon - in July, I think.

Sounds like a very good week!

(I hope your wife's deadlines are not totally competing.)

Fortunately, no, the deadlines won't compete. Besides, the Harlequin books will be shorter. Still, she's going to be busy, which is a good thing because you know what 'they' say about idle hands.

Wow! Lots of congratulations!

I'll try not to let this get to my head.
