I went to a "speed networking" event, which was like speed dating only for translation. It was in a very large room with bad acoustics, so it was very very loud. But it worked, in that in half an hour I met:

An Arabic>English court interpreter
A Portuguese & Spanish>English translator
A project manager to whom I have to send a resume
An English>Spanish literary translator
A Spanish & Italian>English financial translator
An English>Greek translator who has friends looking for French>English translations
A Spanish>English technical translator currently at Kent State
A Spanish>English court interpreter
An English>Japanese internationalizer
An English>Argentinian Spanish translator
A Spanish<>English translator
An English>Japanese financial translator

(Oh, and guess what, Christine Lavin fans? There really is a phone booth on the corner of 49th and 3rd.)

(Glad you are having such a good time.)

There is a photo of the phone booth. Depending on what I feel like doing for dinner, there may also be photos of kilted bartenders.

My sister randomly called me today during work while she was shopping for SOCKS. WTF? Socks?

I told her about the italian place we went last time we visited NYC. She's thinking of going for dinner there tonight.

Must be a good day for skipping out on the ATA. I went to the Titanic artifacts exhibition this afternoon.
