I got carried away...

It took me the better part of 2-1/2 hours to nail about 1020 words, but that time involved a lot of research turning up actual document names (as in: "International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea"), plus there's likely going to be a learning curve on this document (gas carriers, LNG, ice conditions, and so on). I expect things to start speeding up tomorrow morning.

So, here's The Master Plan™, in all of its unpolished glory:

  • Finish 10,600 source words between tomorrow and Saturday, including an overall check of the entire document.
  • Translate about 5,000 source words per day on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Spend an hour or two each day checking finished documents.
  • Check the last documents in time for Wednesday AM delivery.
  • Veg out for the rest of the yearWednesday.

    It is after midnight. I'm pretty sure I'm going to miss the ham breakfast tomorrow morning.

    Cheers...

    The knowledge that you are working the wrinkles right out of your little brain cells warms the cackles(as it were) of this OldFart's heart. I feel joyously guilty that I potter around with getting income tax info together, whilst others are actually WORKING!

    Commiserations....
