The nap was all too short, and the drive down to Hicksville (I can't get over the name, really) and back was uneventful.
I really didn't get down to work upon returning, however, and so it is that I find myself at a convenient stopping point (as in: I don't wanna do any more, tonight, m'kay?). All of the little jobs I agreed to do have been done, but not sent. Of the 8135 source words in the big job I'm trying to complete for Monday morning, I currently have just under 6,000 source words left. All in all, it's been a 4,000-plus-source-word day. I'm beat.
Fortunately, some part of the new document was recycled by the originator from a document I translated some time ago. I haven't been keeping track, but I'd say something like 10% of the segments in the new file are 90% or better matches to stuff I've already done, which has allowed me to get more done in the same amount of time.
One thing I will have to address tomorrow is a few computer-based training sessions that I was asked to complete by... this past Friday. Hopefully, I can still get Web access to the CBT sessions and report some results for Monday morning.
Cheers...
