The universe is back in balance again.

On the positive side: this morning I got an email from a translation agency in France, wanting my CV and rates. They were looking through the ATA listings for FR>EN medical translators, and found me. So I, of course, fired them off a reply. We shall see...even if I don't get any work from them, at least somebody was interested enough to ask. Since I have yet to make any money as a translator, I don't really have much of anything to lose.

On the negative side: I don't see any particular reason why my scanner should have died between the time I shut down this computer last night and the time I turned it on this morning. I thought it might have been the power supply, but it isn't. It's plain old completely dead. Harumpf.

A list:

Haircut 11:30 Sat.
Lady Grace
Farmer's market
Lunch for next week
Laundry

Well, what if they reimbursed you for all costs?

Such a thing doesn't exist in the translation industry, unless maybe you've been doing it for umpteen decades and the client REALLY likes you.

You're hard with hypotheticals :-)

Hypothetical situation -

Suppose you were offered a job in France and it were financially feasible, would you accept?

Maybe. I do like living in this country, for the most part. (French politics are even worse than American politics.)
