Annual report season has arrived, meaning I will be holed up for weeks translating page after page of essentially the same thing. After twenty odd pages it becomes tedious, tedious and more tedious. Can't complain since every little word counts.
What brightens the project is working with a really nice liaison lady. She is polite, understanding and professional and we have bonded well after three years of partnership. Even better, she has a great sense of humor. In our mad race towards the deadline over the years, we have perfected little jokes to lessen the stress. Last minute amendments are met with long sighs on both ends. How come first drafts are perennially late in coming?
Since my little mishap with the azaleas, forgetting to water them, I am searching for another flowering plant to place amongst the paraphernalia I love having on my writing desk. Scented candle being one of the must haves. Hopefully, the blissful ambiance can buffer the craziness surrounding the deadline. I am ready!
