FUCKFUCKFUCK

Gosh, I've been working at a translation I need to do for work for hours now since Friday but I can't get it to work. I've wasted hours of my weekend and I'm just so frustrated that soon I'll be screaming and crying because of frustration. I told them I can't do contractual English, I told them I was too unsure to do it but still I got it as a task over the weekend (and I may leave one or two hours earlier tomorrow for all of my work, am so very grateful...). I'm sitting here nearly tearing my hair out in frustration. I don't even understand half of the sentences and can't identify their structure, I don't even find the fucking main clause in one of them. Of course it doesn't help that I don't understand contractual German most of the time and thus don't know how to phrase the German sentences. Hate it, hate it, hate it! My coworkers didn't want me to do this translation but my boss insisted and now I'll have to go there tomorrow and say that I couldn't do it. How utterly humiliating. And above all we're on a deadline and now we'll have to find a new translator to do this on short notice. I am good at translating for Christ's sake but this is like giving me three pages of a chemical text to make sense of and translate. Great, my weekend's gone, my coworkers will think me incapable and not give me translations anymore and my boss will mock me for hours. Lovely.
