Keeping it under control...

alexpgpOver the past couple of days, I've really gotten into using the Zotero exension for Firefox, as it represents a solution - in terms of ease of use and finding stuff again - that's head-and-shoulders above my old, linear list of bookmarks (half, if not more, of which are obsolete and/or no longer of interest). With Zotero, I can create a collection of data for a particular assignment (as I've done for the most recent job to arrive) that can be saved, notated, searched, etc. in case I run into a similar assignment later on, or in case someone wants to go to the mat to discuss terminology.
My most recent assignment, BTW, is from yet another client in Russia (YACIR?), and is turning out to be one of those texts... well... let me put it to you this way: My most recent inserted comment reads, "The Russian is ungrammatical, so I'm basically making this up."
Speaking of which, I'm finally getting used to embedding questions, remarks, etc. as honest-to-Cthulhu, genuine comments in Word (as in: Insert|Comment off the menu bar), as opposed to my previousidiotic quaint habit of highlighting text that needed attention later and relying on memory to recall later why the text was highlighted (which further required my clients, should they ever see such text, to exhibit paranormal powers to figure out at all... that or an email, but I digress...).
At the rate I'm committing words to phosphor, I'll be finished with the job by 10:30, which may allow me to submit the job one day early (though I would not be surprised to see some feedback in tomorrow morning's email). If that's feasible, that'll be the way I'll go. One thing I cannot do is go to bed too late, because I agreed to do a telecon tomorrow morning.
Back to work!
Cheers...
