Daughter Lise worked on a huge project the whole time her friends were here. She managed to do all the fun activities they had planned, and then she’d stay up all night working. I don’t see how she managed it all, but she and her team met the deadlines. I asked where the people were that she was working with, and the main ones were in Denmark, Norway, and France. Others from the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany were also involved in a more technical role. Frankly, I was impressed. Whenever I’d ask her what she did, she’d tell me one aspect of her job. It seemed like froth to me, but she became known as the English editor. She could whip a document into shape because she was a native speaker who knew both American and British English. The documents were put together by scientists and businessmen. She knew when to question the experts on technical details and when to suggest words for clarity. There were software glitches that made the job much worse than it should have been. Many different people made changes, and because they had keyboards with defaults for their own languages, things would change automatically that should have remained the same. That was a major problem involving this 350-page document. Lise worked at her dad’s desk and shut both doors when she was conferring with her teammates. What a relief it was when they finished the job!
