I'm so excited

Okay, so this may be really difficult to explain how exciting this is but I will give it a go:

I have been employed to transcribe 10 years worth of births records for Tasmania (from 1890-1900 - talk about difficult handwriting and deterioration!).

I started this project on the 1st of July last year and since then have typed 3,140 pages worth. I ONLY HAVE 100 PAGES LEFT!!! Praise God! I never thought the day would come when I could actually see that I was going to finish this job. Yay!

[ETA - Just to clarify, when the transcribing finishes I won't be poor and unemployed (thanks for your concern Veritas!), I will be moving from tedious typing work to more research assistant things such as analysis]
