(Yeah, another clickables game. Just what I need. YAY!)

And Kiki is done with the translation of the text only of the monster! That still leaves setting up the graphics and tables, but! \o\ /o/

Now to finish the rest of the work for the day...

Current Mood: accomplished

But this sentence from my current translation had me laughing out loud in the office:

Countries such as X, where waiting times [for specific treatments/surgeries] tend to vary in the 2 – 3 weeks range, have never felt the urge to produce waiting time data, for principally the same type of reason that Madrid has less snow-ploughs than Helsinki.

HAH.

Current Mood: amused

Oh, fuck this week.

People, come on. Think a little more before doing shit.

Current Mood: pissed off

I have officially reached 2/3rds of the translation of doom - and today is the seventh day. (I said I'd do it in two weeks; hopefully, I'll manage the text translation in three more days, and have a few days to make it pretty and do the graphs and tables. Whee!) Still ahead with the word count (though need to do today's) for NaNo (18 007 now, and the next chapter outlined to manageable chunks, will start when I get home... or maybe after nap).

Ahem. That's the state of the Kiki. More or less. Oh, and I have been catching up with work-work, too. Whee.

Current Mood: sleepy

"What's that screaming sound I hear?"
"The NaNo site is down, my dear!"

... and 157,425 authors suddenly have to go cold turkey. Including yours truly. WAH!

(On the plus side, I wrote almost 2500 words today. On the minus side, my laptop won't connect to the Internet to let me email myself the document so that I can have a copy on the more modern machines in the household. WAH redux!)
