No Posts This Week

Why?  Because I need to work.

I'm serious!

I got a small contract (through Carlos) to translate a 25 page document.  In six days.

If it takes me an average of two (2) hours per page (2.5 hours/page for the first few, 2 hours/page for the next few, and 1.5 hours/page for the last ones), that's 50 hours total, meaning about eight hours a day (including this weekend) just translating.  Then there is the 20 minutes per page for Carlos to edit, i.e., another eight hours for editing...plus two or three hours for formatting.

Did I mention that it is English to Spanish?  That's so much harder for me than Spanish to English.

So no washing dishes this week, just paid labor.
