Things have definitely got better since Thursday:

• Just whacked through the first draft of my next translation in about half an hour flat. BOO-YAAH! It'll need work etc. tomorrow, but first drafts are good things.
• I spent some of my hard-earned Earthling Dollar at Gudrun Sjöden. It's only sale stuff, but eek! it was quite scary! Hopefully, it'll ( Read more... )

... today that I scarpered from school as soon as I could and ran home to collapse on the sofa. I was meant to be doing my exercise on the Wii, which obviously I totally didn't feel like! I got there in the end, though, kept it very easy and short, but it's DONE. Then I played Vib-Ribbon. I love Vib-Ribbon so much! Colin kindly made dinner, now I'm ( Read more... )

Well, that was another 11-hour meeting, then. I swear I'll be spending 12 hours in the office soon - I'm not far off now. But it's all money; did I say my hourly rate had gone up this month? That was amusing; I suggested a random amount just to kick off negotiations, but it was accepted without question.
