Work was so frustrating and irritating today that my blood pressure went up enough for me to feel dizzy and just about start seeing spots. I decided it was time to go home at that point, but of course a client emailed with a 'complaint' (just feedback about something, but I'm supposed to report this and to everyone else on the team, it's a ' ( Read more... )

12.5 hours at work today. I can't believe I worked that long.

For a while there, the muscles in my thigh, especially down by the knee, were feeling really rubbery and I wondered if that meant they'd been overworked rather than weak. It's still stiff ( Read more... )

Here I am, still at work, but fortunately about to leave. I worked OT *again*. Despite the copious amounts of feedback I've been shovelling into the system here about what horrendous translations a certain translator has been producing, they're still getting jobs assigned to them, and because it's German, I'm being assigned to edit them.
