As September approaches, and the long days of summer are being clipped bit by bit at both ends, here’s what’s going on at Griffith Publishing.
We were closed down from August 12 through 19 while the owner went on an 8-day vacation tour to Glacier Park and Yellowstone Park in Montana. I thought I’d get work done and bought a laptop computer just before I left, but the seats on the bus were so crowded and wi-fi availabiliy to limited, I got very little done.
Status of work right now…
HealthWorks. This semi-monthly publication for occupational medicine was printed while I was gone and has been mailed. I am starting a subscription-boosting campaign by adding new businesses and other businesses mentioned in the news media to our subscription list. My assistant, Kay, gets to do that. Received a request from J. R. Simplot Company to use information from HealthWorks in an employee-only publication. Granted.
BeWell. I have a good start on the content list for the Oct-Nov-Dec edition and input from my lead medical adviser, Doug Hill MD. When I have the story list, I’ll probably post it here.
The Successful Match. This is a book with about 420 pages that will help IMGs (international medical graduates) and others match with the right residency for them after they complete medical school. It’s pretty much ready to go except for checking page by page and handling errors and formatting problems as they present themselves. Waiting for back cover copy from the author so we can go to print.
The Mask. Still working away on this novel cum advice book on the lifelong effects of childhod molestation. This is a ghostwriting project, and I have full confidence in completing it, but I don’t know when.
Consulting. I am providing business marketing services to a new commercial loan service that will be opening soon. First job is to prepare a set of web pages for the client.
Web design. I am learning more about creating interactive forms using CSS or Acrobat, and generally about CSS and related topics. Talk about “clouds” and I’m lost. Talk about “virtual” anything, and I’m staring into space.
Vacation. It’s for the birds. I don’t mind 2-3 days away from work, but 8 days is too much, especially with a group of 45 seniors with an agenda of sitting, waiting, eating, sitting, sleeping, eating, and waiting.
