Not so beachy

I took a look at my map last night and saw that there is swimming near my house so I thought I'd go for an after dinner walk to the beach.

Life in Maine

I feel settled in. The job is going pretty well. People who knew the place kept saying oh, they're going to keep you really busy, but they haven't yet. I can't figure out if it's because we've had easier weeks so far, or if things are different than they used to be. I met a guy who was a staff editor here a few summers ago and he said they had 4 full time people his summer and they were always busy. There's 3 of us this summer and my intern is part time and the only time I feel like we have enough work is Fridays and I never feel "busy". I wonder if it's because I'm a faster editor than they're used to having. At this pay rate they usually only get people just out of school, which generally means inexperienced. Or it's possible that fewer classes are asking for Post support.
