After my spending my first break at work doing nothing but editing the various styles in the document until they were all set to “auto-update” (which doesn’t actually do anything) and “add to template”, I finally, finally, got the document to stop changing its font to Verdana and its footnotes to random formatting.

I am 9/10s of the way through the labor meetings in Lancashire, and I’m just over halfway done with the paper itself. My first draft is due Monday, and that’s no longer looking nearly as terrifying.
