alexpgpI sat up a bit last night and eventually got about 2800 words down on phosphor.
The first thing this morning, I checked the Part V document, in preparation for sending it off. I found an omission of about 3 sentences, which is unusual for me (but not unheard of). Glory be to the Gods of "Checking Your Work Before Sending It Off."
Job announcements for Russian-to-English work have been pretty scarce on ProZ since I signed up at the ATA Conference in L.A. Moreover, what I've seen of "public" bids make me go pale (did I mention the bid of $900 to do 250 pages of computer-related text?). Nonetheless, I just submitted my first bid, at my going rate, and hope that my presentation overcomes sensitivity to price. All I need is one job like the one I just bid to make back my ProZ "platinum" membership charge.
Oh, well, that's a fire-and-forget kind of deal... Returning to our plate, what remains of Part IV? About 4 pages. Some of the material I can do in my sleep (tables with numbers); some will be unpleasant (lots of math expressions).
I have to somehow avoid going in to the shop this morning and concentrate on (a) finishing Part IV, (b) printing out the material that my potential new client sent me, and (c) figuring out a way my potential new client can send me that 5-MB file.
To work!
Cheers...
