Well, that will teach me to complain about not having enough work. Client A emailed me last Monday with a huge project to get done in 2 weeks. Great, thank you! Then Client B checks in with a project I could get done in a day, and is games related. I'll take that, thank you! Then... Client C pops up asking for some small but short turnaround work. Um, yes, let's split this with someone else and I'll get you my bit in 2 days...
The worst of the crush is over and I'm now concentrating on my big file which has a lovely amount of repetition in it which the translation tools handles all by itself. It's dull, but relatively easy and definitely makes me happy I have the translation tool.
I did the two training exams on Sunday, while hiding out in himself's office while our broadband was down - thankfully just a fault instead of their billing section cutting us off thinking we hadn't paid again. Today is a bank holiday in Zurich and we went out to pick up a van to collect a shelving unit from a colleague of himself's who is moving back to the US. Except it wouldn't fit in the van. Himself and colleague managed to take out one side and some shelves with a hammer, so it fit in the end, but we were looking around for irate neighbours if not the police.
The weekend has been gloriously sunny and 31 degrees today, although it's clouded over now. May has just disappeared, and we're off to the UK on Wed night to pack up and finalise all our stuff. I hope a week will be enough. The leasehold extension for the flats has gone through, so we can now put ours on the market, although the two that are up for sale have been so for some time now.
Particularly looking forward to Thurs, when I'll meet up with people at the Japan Society to discuss doing more work with them, and meet up with people for dinner!
Oh, and I shall be waiting for my official exam board results for the MA on May 27, and for a decision on my application to the IoL on June 5. Fingers crossed they all go smoothly.
