So there I was, late in the evening, getting more and more bored with translating some ole press release about something or other which was really not very newsworthy.... Trying to dredge up some words that would make some dull takeover sound a bit more exciting....and allowed myself to be sufficiently distracted to go and have a snoop around Facebook to see if other people's lives offered anything a bit more interesting to think about.
A friend had updated his status and as we are in the habit of throwing mild insults at one another I kept up this practice by making a sarcastic remark. Seconds later up popped a message from him "Have you finished that work yet??! I'm sitting here whiling away my life waiting to proofread it."
Whoops.
Mental notes have been made.
