the month ended bad
generally bad throughout the month
on top of a seriously painful incident
not forgetting the earlier frustrating case
*
was concentrating on a task
like seriously I was
and was sent a “small” file for quotation
*
i actually took the trouble to
highlight whatever segments
which required translation and
quoted accordingly
*
it was a “small” file so
i actually didn’t start as
i was juggling with some other tasks
until the person asked about the progress
*
given the price quoted
i estimated that i will take
30 minutes the max
*
then something didn’t feel right
looked like there were some segments
i overlooked and didn’t highlight
*
i am usually quite okay for that
if there were only a few
then i realized that
the file was way bigger than imagined
*
what the fuck was i doing then
i did look through the file
and what the fuck happened
*
so i quoted a higher price
of course with disapproval
and an 1 hour extension
since apparently
i won’t able to finish on time
*
it took me more than 4 hours
to finish a 50 bucks task
working non-stop
almost feeling the numb
on my fingers
*
i had doubt of course
malicious ignorance
also known as “malignorance”
about whether the other party
and the end party have in mind
about the length of the file
*
then again
no-one else but myself to be blamed
as i was the one who provided
the quotation in the first place
*
and due to the delay
i was forced to work until
1 AM on a Friday evening
just to finish other tasks
which happened to due
on the same day
*
that kind of FML feeling
like never before
*
when i am (almost) always
dealing with some
frustrating cases on a Friday
while others are happily
enjoying their TGIF mood
*
and this month recorded
the lowest sales in 18 months
i have imagined the worse
*
it was a long but not really fruitful month
and when something better
finally came in
i actually messed them up
by missing email or
giving the wrong quotation
*
anyway
2 new work-places unlocked this month
(1) Chinese courtyard, Lijiang
haha this was when i missed the email
because my phone was charging in the room
*
(2) Rooftop with mountain-
partial-lake-view plus sunrise, Dali
in fact, it was my final day in Dali
kinda regretted that i didn’t come up earlier
