Still at my desk and wondering what to do about a problem I've run into. Can't solve it without the Project Manager who is of course tucked up in bed and fast asleep.
I'm just going to have to leave it and weather the storm when I get back a week on Monday. Bum.
It basically involves a proofreader who has edited my work - and in my view has made a right pig's ear of it. He is the usual translator for the end-client and so I have to bow to his greater knowledge of the subject matter. He has made some very odd choices of phrasing and vocab and, frankly, I don't think he's right.
I don't want to ruffle lots of feathers but nor do I feel particularly happy about the translation as it now stands. Sigh.
And I still have got to pack - and go to bed.
