Meandering down... or is it up?
Ooohhh... just when I was getting used to the now-almost-constant "cannot contact server" messages, I get hit with "error getting database lock" (or something along those lines). I sure hope LJ is healthy.
It's taken me just under 3 hours to finish the current job. If I do a workmanlike job of reviewing the translation, it should normally take just under 6 hours to review. However, the huge table in the thing will certainly cut down on that figure.
I was able to speed things up, I think, by concentrating on one column of the table at a time. That prevented me from allowing my attention to wander between entries that required thinking (e.g., "Step-by-step acceptance journal for testing of defective weld joint sections") and those that didn't (e.g., ditto marks).
In any event, I shall submit the job tomorrow, along with an invoice, and then turn my attention to pressing matters (e.g., issuing 1099s, filing state unemployment insurance, various other tax and accounting stuff).
I also need to sit down and finally send a letter to the Albanian kid I'm sponsoring.
Anyway... I'm going AFK for - hopefully - the rest of the evening.
Cheers...
