To the extent that anything ever really gets "done."
I got a one-hour extension from the project manage, which I made in the shade, although I did miss the original deadline by about half an hour.
It was a challenging way to get introduced to this particular form of work (I've edited another translator's text before—though not long before), but not in a situation where the translation memory file is on a server (I'm not exactly sure how this impacted me, past slowing me down) and the translated text exhibits mannerisms I didn't particularly care for.
(You raise your brows at my characterization of text as exhibiting "mannerisms"? I suppose you could call it a "style" or a "way of saying things," with perhaps some irregularity of "register"—but I prefer "mannerisms," 'k?)
Tired as all get-out. I've been going 100% since about 5:15 this morning. I think I've earned a nap.
Cheers...
