August weeks fly fast...
Yet not fast enough to catch
Thumper chasing food

I found a new formula for getting on my bad side. A prospective new client included the following sentence in an email:
I do not want a google translate, but an accurate, correct translation.
Fortunately, I realized there was context behind that sentence, in that (for some reason) a Google translation had been sent to me along with the text that needed translating. For the second day in a row, I was moved to "make a comment," if (hopefully) gently:
You are in good company. A surprisingly high number of my clients also insist on accurate, correct translations. :^)
In any event, I received a PO by the end of the day.

Cheers...
