having an incredible busy weekend
is sometimes I don’t really enjoy
especially on a Friday night
entering a weekend with
loads pressure at the back of my mind
hehe..
finally I am writing in English again
firstly there are a couple of contracts
related to construction / petrol industry
not that I have never done
contract translation before
yet those are really time consuming
it feels great having completed them
over the weekend since Saturday afternoon
by the way
since Friday night to Saturday afternoon
were busy doing some code frame thingy
something new to me
wasn’t really that tough
just consolidating open ended feedback
into a list of options instead and
I do enjoy reading comments
especially these are written by
real people in the industry
no harm reading some high quality feedbacks
yet given the sheer amount and
the amount of pending work
it can be quite stressful
once I managed to KO that
yup the delivery deadline is on a
Saturday night
freelancers work round the calendar
instead of loitering around
that is probably a bad sign
if you are
then proceed to do the
contract translation
the client didn’t specified a deadline
but of course he wants it ASAP
and as for myself
I would like to get it done ASAP too
so that I can proceed to the next one
like start the week afresh
instead of lingering here
over and over again
it was a long day
decided to give myself a break
didn’t work on anything at all
on a Saturday night
treated myself to a movie
which I just wrote a short review
in the previous post
in fact I actually wanted to
at least do some work
after I was done with the movie
but was too tired to
had a good sleep
all the way until 10 in the morning
went out for brunch and
started the day quite late after 12 noon
whatever feels right
if you think need a break
a break will do as
you will be recharged to
resume your work after the break
and hooray for me
as I kinda get to finish them all and
it shouldn’t be a problem to
deliver it by tomorrow evening
evening is fine I guess
since there is a 5 hours difference
you have client who set deadline
at a Saturday night
you also get client who
sent you a file at 4 am
on a Sunday morning
I assume he is not in the country
right now
I rather like to assume so
but it’s good to hear from him again
returning client is
always a good sign
who works for more than
12 hours on a Sunday
a freelancer does
what keeps me going on
whenever the content is something
I am not really familiar with
I take it as an opportunity to
learn something new
engineering, construction,
petrochemical, piping materials
costing, specialized legal terms
research, research and more research
that will ultimately benefit myself
and at the same time
I am paid to do it
nothing much can pretty beat that
I guess
