Bait has been cut...
In a bid to simplify my life, I called the interpretation client to ask about the pending gig, and was told that there was no news from the end client, and that if I had an opportunity to work at something else, to jump at it.
This makes my life just a bit easier to manage, and it may have had an effect on my perceived work load, as I proceeded to finish the rest of section 3 of The Horror in fairly straightforward fashion.
In related news, it turns out my tag copying and pasting macros has some objectively identifiable superiorities to the "placeable" navigation and copy feature in Wordfast. Copying a placeable via the established mechanism requires a minimum of 4 keystrokes (a two-key chord + an arrow key to select the first placeable + down arrow to copy it).
My macro requires Ctrl+8 to copy up to 20 tags, and Ctrl+9 to paste each one sequentially, which means I save at least 4 keystrokes for each tag past the first one in a cell. That may not sound like much, but my fingers are beginning to tell the difference.
Be that as it may and whatever I may do, my fingers will be taking a forced vacation tonight, as my charger has been left at home. Rats.
* * * I found a great podcast from CanineCampus.com which seems to make more sense than most of the stuff I've heard/read so far (especially as concerns mouthing and nipping, which is my major complaint with Shiloh at the moment). The "zero tolerance" school that involves grabbing the puppy by the hair between the shoulder blades to mimic a canine mother's behavior just isn't working, and I've begun to suspect it's because Shiloh is still a puppy (i.e., along the same lines, you may as well expect a 18-month old human baby to be reading and writing).
Back to work.
Cheers...
