It's 2:47am and I'm supposed to be working. I guess I could go to sleep if I wanted, seeing as how I only need to deliver this job at the end of Friday, but, I don't want to sleep! I just finished a 24 page translation of an infuriatingly badly formatted booklet for a local NGO. I don't understand why they even sent it out for translation. There were even parts of it with that automatic text you get, Lorem Ipsum or whatever the fuck it is. Why bother? And I checked out thier website. Who the fuck translated that? I really hope it wasn't the company I'm working for because I would be seriously embarrased to associate myself with such crappy work. I am constantly annoyed by bad translations. Some of these companies should be ashamed to put their babelfish translated websites online. It just makes them look cheap and second rate. Why don't they understand that? Just shell out the extra $ and get it done right the first fucking time. I think that may be the hardest lesson for the majority of the people in this world to learn. Just suck it up and do it right the first time. You'd save yourself the frustration of having to re-do whatever it is over and over again. Cheapskates. Speaking of which, that asshole that I'm freelancing for not only pays me half of what he should, but he doesn't even pay me on time! After harrassing them for a month, they finally paid me half of what they owe. What is wrong with people? Don't they understand that we work to get paid because, holy shit, we *need* the money? Food doesn't grow on trees...ok, well, bad example. Just ship the cash idiot!
Ok, rant over. I'm cranky because I didn't get my daily news junky fix. Maybe tomorrow...
