Today I apply for the dummy search for my job, and do some book sectioning.

Done!

Yay! p.s. what's a dummy search?

It's a fake search. My work here triggered the creation of a permanent position. It will be given to me, but the department first has to run a "competitive" search to fill it. I will win the "competition", however.

Today, I work in a new book section and have a quick look at my July R&R.

Got in 1000 words, which is the most I've managed since the hatchling hatched.

[Parasaurolophus]

I must continue book sectioning today.

Grades are due in a couple of days, so research is coming back to the top of my agenda after a couple of weeks completely away from it. Here are my May goals:

• Work on polishing up paper #1 in preparation for first submission to a journal
• Work on polishing up paper #2 in preparation for first submission to a journal
• Start working through data that my RAs have spent the last six months or so collecting
• Start outlining new paper with senior colleague
• Identify a new project to start working on - preferably something solo

[darkstarrynight]

May Goals!

Short-Term

• Review 4 journal manuscripts - 3 as guest reviewer and 1 as editorial board member - and 2 chapters for academic book
• Continue data collection with first-year colleague in my department
• Analyze data for project with subfield colleague, manuscript due in September
• Analyze data for special issue project due in June
• Work on research brief based on early April conference presentation

Other Goals

• Hopefully get proof of accepted manuscript to be published this summer
• Hopefully get a decision on manuscript under review for more than six months after bugging editor three weeks ago nicely
• Work on sabbatical application and research goals for it
• Continue long-term project that has stalled because of pandemic

Got my proof to review of the accepted manuscript for the summer, yay!

[Parasaurolophus]

Congrats, darkstarrynight!

I must continue book sectioning today.

Forgot I had an IRB proposal to review, so didn't get there today.

Nothing today, I'm afraid. Busy day of other things ahead.

[Parasaurolophus]

Yesterday's plan is today's: work on that anew book section!

Yesterday's plan is today's: work on that new book section!

Made decent progress! Should manage to finish this by the end of the month.

[Parasaurolophus]

More of the same today. I'd like to finish this section with one more day's work, after today.

I'm happy with my progress on each of these projects.

Done for today.
