Cleaning the (immediate) plate...
Aug. 6th, 2015 11:29 pmDespeckling the last item of The Behemoth™ took less time than I expected, and so I was able to complete the job early this afternoon, along with a hefty slug of The Routine Stuff™ that came in and was done earlier, in the morning.
I am far from finished with "work," however. My recent road trip played havoc with my recordkeeping, so tomorrow, in addition to composing and sending off a bunch of questions to MD Anderson, I'll have to trace through my emails of the past two weeks and make sure I've recorded all the work I've done. An invoice might not be a bad idea, either (two of them, in fact).
Then, if I'm in the mood, I'll be able to start on a 6,000-word job that came in a few days ago with a long lead time, the kind of thing that makes sense to do when there's a lull in the main stream of work, (which is what I expect, considering the mess that was left by a certain ex-employee of a certain end client, but I digress...). But I better not tarry too long with this job; long-lead deadlines have a habit of closing at a high rate of speed like those approaching cars I remember on the roads near Camp Pendleton in California, which appear to be far off as you start to cross the street, and typically end up barely missing you (and that, only because you started to run as you approached the opposite curb).
If I do take a break, it won't be for long. Besides translations to write, I've got things to do, places to go, and people to see.
Cheers...
