Sep. 15th, 2004 03:02 pmGetting my translation published is still the best news I heard all day yesterday, because fifteen minutes later I got blindsided with a serious deadline. I have to have a 20-page text chosen and summarized and a somewhere-between-35-and-50-term glossary done for my case study before October 15. Thank goodness I don't have to have the glossary populated; I only have to have the equivalent terms. Since October 15 is slap in the middle of the ATA meeting and I'll be in Toronto, I have until October 12.
This morning the carpets finally got cleaned, and in the process of doing so, the living room circuit breaker tripped. I thought that was probably the problem, but I got the maintenance guy to come fix it anyway. It was rather odd to come home and find that the answering machine, which is on a kitchen outlet, worked, and my alarm clock was fine, but my TV, VCR and stereo were all dead and my laptop was running off the battery. I went off to the library while the carpet cleaning was going on, and now I have 5 possible articles for my case study and no way to get at any of them from here (KSU doesn't subscribe to French medical journals; funny, that).
My sister called to gloat about being in possession of a house as of today, and it turns out she might be able to get me the articles. Ah, nepotism...
It's absolutely gorgeous out. I spent about fifteen minutes just sitting in the grass between Satterfield and the library soaking up the weather. There's enough breeze to take the sweltering edge off 80 degrees and humid. Unfortunately since I've still got that huge bruise from walking into the table last week, I can't really wear shorts. This is pretty good jeans weather, though, and my new jeans are lightweight, so it's all good.
I should go get the mail and find out who wants money from me this week, other than the cable company.
