alexpgp...but our current tax person quit her place of employment, which sort of leaves us high and dry. I'm pretty sure we weren't the straw that broke the camel's back, but Galina tells me her boss doesn't seem very bright for the business he's in, so I don't know. I'm going to go over the first chance I get to see about retrieving our paperwork (and hopefully, the files our tax person developed before quitting).
After agreeing to a sub-1000 word French-to-English job, I got a call regarding a 5800-source word radiogram that was needed ASAP (actually, I am told the client wanted it back in a couple of hours, which could only be "done" by making a complete hash of the job, i.e., assign one page to 20 different translators and don't look too hard at the result when it comes back an hour later). I was asked to send back as much as I had completed by 3:30 pm, which gave me an opportunity to see just how much I could translate in just under 4 hours. The answer was: quite a bit (especially aided by TM).
I just finished the remaining 2000 source words, which took a while because my brain was cooked from the earlier session.
And I haven't even touched the French item (though that's okay, as it's not due until Thursday morning).
Cheers...
