one of my colleagues asks me, "janus, are you working?"today afternoon, we're back in the van, heading home. i'm editing a printout of my manuscript. a friend also takes out a printout, clearly formatted in amsart.
i grin. "refereeing a paper .."
.. which becomes a lively discussion on the annoyances of refereeing and reviewing papers.
"say, are you editing a preprint?" i ask.mathematicians are predictable: at one point during the ride back:
"actually, i'm refereeing this article," he replies ..
one of us was refereeing,
another was latexing,
another was reading a paper,
and i was editing that preprint that i've been constantly writing about here and there.
there have been some posts i've been meaning to write here, including:
- thoughts on how the "intro to proofs" course went,
- initial thoughts about leaving the country,
- life after one postdoc,
- how the conference went.
