alexpgpI was within 1000 words of the goal when Feht called to say he was coming into town, and should he stop by and pick me up on the way to the store? I said no, thank you, but I'd be tickled to have him stop by on the way back and we'd have some tea and shoot the breeze for a while.
After I hung up, I realized that the upstairs had not been properly tidied for guests, so after finding out that tomorrow was a perfectly sensible submittal date, I put away the translation and proceeded to do a mini-field-day upstairs.
It turns out I could have saved myself the trouble - <just kidding> - as upon arrival, Feht suggested we go out to some place where folks wait on you so we could be free to discuss life, the universe, business, and everything.
I needed no second invitation, so we ended up at a place called "JJs" where we both had a somewhat indifferent meal (though mine cost less, so it doesn't hurt as much). Be that as it may, the chow was better than anything I could rustle up on short notice (the fridge is dying, and I've drafted two mini-fridges into service, which limits the raw stock on hand), and likely better than anything else in town.
Besides the small amount left over from today, there is a 3,000-word job on the plate for Monday, which ought to keep me comfortably busy for some part of (probably) Sunday.
In other news, I have learned that the person at the American Translators Association who is in charge of vetting "continuing education" points has reviewed and approved the report I submitted last week. (Be still, oh throbbing spirit!)
I think I'll put in some additional cleanup time (seeing as how my activities of earlier today have put me in the mood, so to speak) and then hit the sack. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, between finishing today's translation and finishing my read of the week's LJ Idol entries.
Cheers...
