Dear folks,
If I ever have time, which won't happen, I'd like to complain to the Post Office about their stamps. Do you perhaps also agree that they don't put enough glue on them? I've been using extra glue, or even Scotch tape, on about every other stamp these days...
Well, the big honor of this week, the hour exam in math on Monday, for which I gave up most else last week, is over. Everyone feels they did poorly on it, me too, no I guess we'll all come out better (or all flunk!). Anyway, I took up all other things subsequently. My work for Prof. Fisher I renewed to the extent of having time to instruct two girl assistants (today [[strikethrough]]![[/strikethrough]]) and pass them materials to work on. I got to work again on the 17,000 word government paper. When I work on that I am surrounded by ~10 reference books, quite a spread! But it is interesting, detective-type work, and I've made $5 or $6 a day working a few hours lately.
Also, another physics prof. wants me to translate two articles (new client), which I'm still waiting for delivery of. The physics articles really pay about the best.
