Back at the face of the mine...

I've been up since 6 am, though not working all that time. Still, it's about a quarter after nine, and I probably should go eat some breakfast and spend a little time with the old man. I'm currently at around 8900 words (out of 11000 - as I noted, the number keeps shrinking as I consolidate stuff), and I am coming up fast on the end of the horrid tables.

Cheers...

Coast time...

In my previous post, I for some reason assumed that I was behind, when actually I was ahead.

In fact, after spending the better part of an hour at breakfast and some additional time at the face of the salt mine, I've only a handful of words to go in the IBRJDT (Incredibly Big Rush Job Due Tomorrow™). So, since I am going to have to print this puppy out to make sure I don't submit some silly bits, and since there is no real opportunity to do that short of going home...

So, I'll just make sure that the edit I've signed up for is on my machine (and not still on my Web mail), and then close down the VAIO and start getting myself out of here.

My dad has already reminded me that it's nearly 11:30!

Cheers...

At Terminal 6...

Everything has gone pretty smoothly, except that I got to the airport early enough to have to wait to check my bag (check-in for bags starts no earlier than 4 hours to flight time).

I managed to do a large part of the edit (and some of the translated bits) over the past hour and a half, which means I can spend about another 30 minutes on the job and still be within budget, not counting the translations.

My battery is down to 30% with the display dimmed as far as it will go. I better post and shut down soon.

Cheers...
