So here we are...
May. 13th, 2008 05:08 pmIt's shortly after 5 pm and I freshly rested... again. Last night, I logged very nearly 10 hours of sleep (or maybe a little less if you consider the usual 6 am wakeup to go take Shiloh for a walk). Soon after rising, I was asked to turn around what became a 2,000-word rush for my best client, which I did, after which I took a nap.
So the 2500 words to be done by the end of the work day have yet to be touched.
Yesterday's effort bagged about 4500 target words. Another chunk of the same job had to be sent back for OCRing, and although there's a lot of repetition in it, the 7800-source-word size is still pretty intimidating, expecially since the client wants that part back by the end of the day tomorrow.
It also occurs to me that I'll probably need to spend a couple of days before I leave - okay, one complete day - packing up all the stuff in my office in preparation for pulling up stakes for Colorado, although technically, I suppose this could be done once I return from my Houston gig. (But I kid myself if I think that!)
There'll be time enough for wondering about that later. Right now, there are about 2500 words of the current job that need bagging!
Cheers...
