I'm sorry this has taken so long but I have had a pretty busy week and between deadlines and Christmas shopping/baking I haven't had a chance to post anything.
So last Friday was my last day at Wiley-Blackwells. It started like any other with me reviewing new submissions and then moving onto compiling monthly stats reports for a few journals. But then after lunch it got very last-day-of-term-y. I had mentioned to my supervisor that I was interested in Open Access and she very kindly managed to find a load of presentations from an Open Access day they had had recently, to explain to the staff the details of OA and how Wiley was going to adapt to it. She printed the slides off for me and talked me through them which was incredibly kind of her as well as being very interesting.
As a big thank you for everything, which was definitely necessary because I have learnt so much on this placement, I brought everyone a box of chocolates and a Christmas card. This obviously meant that we needed to take an extra long tea break to eat the chocolates so I was late to the closing HR meeting because we had got chatting.
But I did make it, tea in hand, and I was glad I did because as well as the general thank-yous we also got a certificate! This is now up on my wall as my pride and joy.
So that's it. The end of a great 9 weeks at Wiley and a stressful first 12 weeks at uni. I'm going to go and take a well earned break so all that's l
