Apart from the back breaking hours I spend bent over proofs, the new job has been fun. It is like giving up the macro view for the micro; abandoning binoculars for a microscope; and giving up dreams of flying to scour the earth. I am still rusty with my commas and hyphens and ignorant of grammatical rules but I am learning to slow down and hunt for the errant quotation marks and the hideous z.
And as I frown at my computer screen all day long, the day turns into night and ships return to the dock after a hard day’s work. From a blazing blue the world outside turns into a cascade of black and from the window glass pane I look back at myself.
