October has been all smooth
until i received this task
which i took as a challenge
*
in terms of all three
volume, content, deadline
triple trouble
*
so i got a whole 190 pages
translated in 10 days
on top of my daily tasks
*
i.e.
sleeping for 3-4 hours a day
no life but all work
and managed to meet the deadline
*
but i knew it was not over
because i simply know
and for the first week of Nov
I have been sleeping through
whenever I don’t have task
*
and yesterday i even slept
as early as 8 PM
waking up to find that
the nightmare has bounced back
*
they requested a
complete review of
the entire file
expecting me to spend two days
(zero compensation, of course)
because quality issues were flagged
(in less than a page)
*
and it feels like
it doesn’t pay off at all
having need to go through
sickness and sleep disorder
*
and i gonna spend another night
staying up until morning
going too the content
i am already quite sick of
(have already spent 10 hours today
and i am barely half way through)
*
but trying to convince myself that
this is something positive
because i have managed to
challenged something new
*
the fact is real
mega corp on the other side
of the scale
versus powerless ant
on the opposite
*
with another huge corp
between the both
who has better negotiation power
*
anyway
still glad that
i am a free and easy ant
if that makes me feel better
*
it’s not about the money3
*
p.s.
speaking of October
the total sale was pretty not bad
this particular project
i spent the entire page talking about
made up 25% of it
*
and i kinda calculated
how much i need to generate
in Q4 of 2017
in order to be on par with 2016
*
and i actually managed to
actually filled up
50% of my target for Q4
in October alone
*
it doesn’t mean
i can chill for Nov and Dec
but well at least
there is less pressure and
*
i can spend a less worry-some
10-day vacation back in China
during early December
*
these days
it has been seriously creepy
i don’t even feel like
talking to anyone
well that’s usual
but not even the usual persons
*
i don’t even feel like
blogging and doing
some other stuffs that
i used to cherish
*
so i hope to
put an end to this
nightmarish task
like seriously a full-stop
having spent 2 full days
reviewing my own work
*
and this Dec trip
seems to be
the only thing
i look forward to
*
Mad Season / Matchbox Twenty
