alexpgpI thought I'd be able to take it easy one evening... get to know the in-laws, 'n stuff.
Drew took the ladies to Durango (the man stayed back, intending to go fishing again, today), so I've been here at the store all day. About 11 am this morning, the client I've been working with these past few days called with one more item. It turns out one of the other translators on the project - or maybe the other translator on the project - just got to the point where he couldn't go on, or something, so there are 14 pages left. "Would I do them?" asked the client, sweetly.
(What am I going to do, say no?)
I figure, based on previous documents, that the work'll take about 4 hours, maybe 5. If I do a "minimum close" on the store (collect the money, write down three numbers, throw all the valuables into the safe and lock it, turn off everything, lock the doors), I can be home by 6:20 pm. Dinner stretches it to 7, assuming dinner is ready. Dinner over, I can probably get everything done by midnight.
Whoo. Pee.
I'm seriously thinking of going home, wolfing down dinner, then maybe going to sleep at, like, 7:30-8 pm or so, and then rising five hours later and pitching in. Drew would then have to deal with the store tomorrow, but I anticipate that to be the case anyway.
Galina's real-estate contract did not go through. She's staying one more day to try to salvage something of the situation, and tells me she will be on the road tomorrow, which will put her in town on Friday, sometime during the day.
I can't wait. :^)
Cheers...
