I feel like a can of Spackle...
Jan. 31st, 2007 08:50 pm...because my function this week is, apparently, to fill in the holes of my best client's schedule.
I am not complaining, mind you.
Today, I filled in for the last couple of hours of a simulation. Tomorrow morning, I am scheduled to do a 7 am telecon.
In between, I filed all of my outstanding Colorado unemployment tax returns today, and made some additional progress in my alignment job, passing the 50% mark just a little while ago.
I experienced a moment of... concern as I wondered what would happen if the client I am doing the alignment for were to call off the job. Right now, you see, I'm doing the alignment as part of the work involved in doing the translation, but if the translation goes south... I wonder what'll happen?
Apropos of which, the job inquiry yesterday generated 62 words of a sample translation, which was submitted as a PDF file the same day. The response to a message sent late today indicated my work was still being evaluated. Hmmm. We'll see, though I have my suspicions. (I wonder if I get "points off" for submitting the sample as a PDF instead of a "standard" Word file?)
Galina's "Wednesday-out-with-the-ladies" took a vacation this week, and perhaps forever. Apparently, one of the "regulars" who hadn't been around two weeks ago didn't take much of a shine to my bride during last week's get together. Galina, in turn, doesn't feel like sticking her nose in where it isn't welcome. I guess those old clique-y habits are really hard to break.
In any event, if you suspect that Spackle.com is a site devoted to everyone's favorite filler for holes and cracks, think again. Check it out (Flash required).
Cheers...
