Getting into it...

Latest sentence:

... The Contractor shall be fully responsible for processing and monitoring the condition of the soil, including its removal, treatment, storage, and disposal, and for careful handling of all materials and waste, and agrees to defend the Customer (Customer’s Group) and exempt him (them) from liability, and guarantee to indemnify him (them) against harm, damage, or loss resulting from and in regard to any claims, requirements, responsibility, losses, damage, suits, causes of Action, or expenses (including court costs, attorney’s fees, and other expenses related to court proceedings) related to contamination and pollution of soil caused by performance of Work by the Contractor, and/or operation of Equipment owned by or under the control of the Contractor...

The good news: this sentence contains a mere 113 words.

It has occurred several times so far in the document, each time with a subtle wrinkle (sometimes it's just the Customer, without the "Customer's Group"; sometimes, the Contractor also "releases" the Customer of responsibility). Thank goodness for the Wordfast, which points out these subtle differences and provides most of the words from the "last time" such a mess showed up on the screen.

There are still ~2700 words left to go before quitting for the day.

Cheers...

I know the feeling, sort of. The same thing happened to me back early in my career, after I'd gone on to a new employer. My old one convinced me to beg a few days' leave and help them out on my old project.

It's a tough choice, for sure.

Cheers...
