Jack the Lass and Farli have been comparing notes on how to rack up the number of words required for their essays (writing chapter headings and bibliographies first seems to have the required psychological effect for getting over the terror of facing a blank page).
I am currently ploughing my way through a 2,000-word powerpoint presentation - which is mind-bendingly dull. In the absence of chapter headings and bibliographies, I have written the numbers of the slides down on a sheet of paper and each time I finish one it gets crossed off. Of the 46 I have crossed off 22 - so nearly half way through - which is good on the one hand - but not so good on the other as time is running out. It all has to be back with the client by lunchtime tomorrow and I'm currently doing about 3 slides an hour. It's going to be a late night. It'd be alright if I had anything like a clue about what they are talking about. Something about fire protection measures, ignition points and combustion trials. Just up my Straße.
As an aside to the person who found me by googling "Translate Good Morning Mr Chambers in Indian": Indian as a language does not exist. The official language of India is Hindi but there are other official languages depending on which State you (or Mr Chambers) are (is) in. Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujerati, etc. Hope this helps.
