Three...

It's been a pretty good day. I've just spent some time entering the self-described "throwaway" tune Feht composed in '96 to the words of Heinlein's "Cool Green Hills of Earth." If it works, I'll be happy to have it as a phone ring tone. To be frank, I am loathe to risk downloading a "free" ring tone that requires me to give up my phone number, since I've heard horror stories of people who've gotten on various phone spam lists analogous to the wonderful world of fax spam.

It was a good day for translation. I didn't do any part of the document last night, figuring I could probably do 4000 words today and tomorrow, thus leaving about another 2K words for Monday and Tuesday, which I imagine I can do in my sleep. I ended the day having done just over half the total (5000+ words), leaving me about the same number for tomorrow. If I can finish the document tomorrow, that'll leave me free to think about something else other than work, at least for a few hours. Too, I'll be able to invoice the job along with all the other happy stuff I did last week. That'd be nice.

The one good thing about working so hard was not dwelling on today being the anniversary of the attack on the WTC. I only started to notice the various commemmorations while visiting the usual web sites. It's not that I want to forget; I can't. I just don't want to end up dwelling on it; it's too depressing.

Time to get some sleep.

Cheers...
