It's so much fun being a white collar day-laborer.
Last week the client who sends me a nice steady flow of translation work (as opposed to the other clients, who send me work occasionally) announced that they are eliminating their translation division. I suppose they noticed that the translation division wasn't making any money. Oh well.
But they like my work and if they start buying translations again, they'll totally call me.
Um. Thanks.
I finished up the last bit of work for them on Wednesday. Thursday I did chores. Friday, I faced up to the wonderful world of un(der)employment. Now I really have no excuse not to look for a job, which I haven't been doing actively because job hunting sucks and because I've had money coming in. So on Friday I applied for a proper grown-up type job (also, chores and errands). The plan for Monday? More of the same.
It's grueling, I tell you. Somehow I'm going to have to work in some kicking back and nibbling bon-bons.
