alexpgp | Making today count?

In reviewing today's earlier post, I notice I sort of absent-mindedly closed it with the sentence:

I've got to make today count!

Man, I wonder why that phrase, exactly, came to mind?

I mean, it's not as if I typically spend my days watching the soaps and chugging Miller High Life as I pick lint out of my navel.

Then again, I suppose I was simply trying to underscore the idea that I really need to buckle down and work in a disciplined manner, because translating 6,000 source words per day is a lot of farblegargling work! And to work at that tempo for five straight days.... <suck air in through his teeth>... is not a pretty picture.

(So there I am: complaining when there's not enough work, and whining when there's too much.)

The marginally good news is that I've taken care of about 2,500 words since this afternoon.
