Less than 100%...

I felt less than optimum over the weekend, and a little run down in the afternoon the past couple of days. This morning, I woke up with a congested nose, a slightly sore throat, and that scratchy feeling behind the eyes. I may be getting sick.

This is not a good development, as I have 11,000 source words due on Friday.

The only solution is to start in on the work, pace myself, and take the normal steps to combat this kind of thing.

Cheers...

Good news/bad news...

First, the good news: I'm a little over 50% complete with the work due Friday. Thank goodness for good references and an efficient work setup. With any luck, I'll be able to repeat this feat tomorrow, since the remaining document is a revised version of the one I translated today. Even if the revision is 100% new material, I ought to make the deadline without significant problems.

The bad news: I'm shivering. Either because it really is cold in my office (it's not; the heat is on and my desk thermometer reads 21.3°C, or about 70°F) or because - very unprofessionally - I'm getting sicker. Feh.

I think I'll go take it easy between the covers and take a nap (as well as some more vitamin C).

Cheers...
