alexpgpMy shift starts in just a few minutes, so I thought I'd update.
I'm running a sleep deficit, having slept for about 3 hours this morning and maybe 90 minutes somewhere around 6 pm, so this ought to be a pretty interesting shift... (yawn).
It takes 5m30s for my work computer to load my "personal settings," whatever those might be. The funny thing is, I think this is an improvement over the first couple of times I logged into a machine here at NASA.
My status as an Amex customer apparently gets me a subscription to the Small Business version of FORTUNE magazine, and this month's issue had a piece about the fellow who has written a book on the 4-hour workweek. The article is interesting, but I don't really see how any of it is applicable to me, since I am both the lead translator and chief bottle-washer for my one-person operation.
I managed to send out one more translation (and invoice) for April, for a satisfactory month, and remembered to send out invoices and statements to customers for whom "net 30 days" is a foreign concept. The good news is that May 1 is the day that a bunch of February work comes due, and I'm curious to see how long it takes for the payment to get to me; the "30 days, end of month" folks actually pay two weeks later than the stated term.
Off to work!
Cheers...
