Whoever thought that someone who had spent so many years in University being labelled a "lazy student" could work so hard. There aren't enough hours in the day for me to work in! Between being a "full-time" Mum and my translation work I'm run off my feet! But it's very satisfying knowing you've done a good job when you receive feedback from customers. Can't beat it.
I've had work every day bar one this week and it's coming in all the time now. I'm getting through about 1500 to 2000 words a day now and as I said in my last post, the more I do the faster I get....the more cash I bring in. Happy days!!!!

Well, I've now been in business for just over two months and things rae ticking over quite nicely. Getting at least two if not more translations a week and I'm finding the more I do the quicker I get. Not coincindental I'm sure.
Yesterday I went to my first business "networking" event which was interesting to say the least. Very imsiprational speaker there, Hetaher Gorringe who is Managing Director of www.wigglywigglers.com who really rates blogging, facebook, podcasts and other new media as a way of getting yourself out there and known on the web. Apparently the more you blog the more likely you are to be googled when someone is seraching for your product. So here I am blogging away. Maybe someone will read this in the distant future and wonder whether it was worth me doing it. But I'll plug away in the hope that it mkight get me somewhere.
My latest acquisitions re "specialisms" in languages...I did a massive car electronics translation for a translation agency in India earlier this week which was hard work, but I learnt from it. Am now working my way through a partnership proposal for an agency in Trieste, Italy. Much more straight forward and up my alley!!
Anyway, time for bed.
