dchenesIt's being rather like a Monday, except it isn't actually raining. It's not as bad as last Monday, thank goodness, but I'm keeping busy.
Last night I sat down and got the second draft of the longer TSF translation sample done. In the course of doing term research for the second sample, I discovered an English version of it, and I wish I hadn't, because it used a term that was exactly what I meant, but not what I had used, and now I feel guilty about co-opting their term. (It did answer my original question, though. I was trying to find out if the name of a place I'd never heard of was spelled differently in French than in English. It isn't.)
This computer screen is very dark. I have it set as bright as it gets, and white is still showing up as sort of medium-light grey. On sunny days I don't mind; there's a window behind me, so the screen gets more light that way. Today, I'm finding the grey tremendously annoying. Then again, this whole computer is about a step and a half up from Civil War surplus, wood-burning, steam-powered. If it knows what USB is, I'll be shocked.
What's the point of email alerts for job board postings if the job gets closed so fast that the alert hasn't even gotten to me yet? (And why is the board sending me an alert for a job into Korean?)
Never mind. Time to resume wearing my Calendar Arrangement hat.
