First Work
I just had my first assignment as a translation proofreader for TLS Translations tonight. It took me a little under 3 hours to complete. All in all, it wasn't too bad. As long as I can get a consistent 20 hours a week doing this (and, hopefully, 40-50 hours a week once I graduate) I think this might be a viable career for the next couple of years, or so. We'll see how it all pans out.
The nicest part was that, although I had the assignment on a Sunday night (the translator got his work to my boss late, just barely today, and it's due tomorrow morning)--even though I was working on a Sunday night, I was at home with my wife and daughter. It was a little distracting at the beginning, but then I focused on my work and got into a groove. I did the work in my pajamas. That's a first for me, and I like it.
Here's hoping this all turns out well.
