eep. i totally underestimated the amount of time it would take me to do this transcription. at work, it usually takes me about twice as long as the actual recorded minutes. at home, it's taking me about FIVE times as long -- i.e., i've been at it about 2 1/2 hours and am only 26 minutes into a 100-minute file, which is due by wednesday. and i have to sleep some time. i may have to cut the day job short tomorrow so i can get this in by the deadline, and i'll just have to be aware that it's gonna take a hell of a lot longer than i think it is, in future.
on a lighter note, it's all about a company in the chocolate industry, and i am now CRAVING chocolate. and of course resisted the temptation to buy some easter candy when i was in rite aid getting headphones and claritin. comma dammit. i'm almost desperate enough to start picking the M&Ms out of the trail mix A.L. got me...
