It's been too long...
since I last posted, but I've been keeping busy.
Last week Thursday I re-took the 2/3 of the GA AOC Commission on Interpreters court interpreter oral certification exam that I still need to pass. I think it went pretty well, definitely better than last time, and last time I almost passed, so logically I should pass. Of course, I won't find out for a couple months or so, since the tapes of my performance are sent to some master federally certified court interpreter to listen to and grade. So until I get that letter telling me I passed, there will be at least a shadow of a doubt. But I must pass. It is a personal goal that I will not give up until I achieve it.
Also, very conveniently, I landed a translation gig on the side a week ago, based on a referral from a past client. Not too complicated, some Spanish to English legal docs, but four of them instead of the usual one, so I get to charge more than my minimum fee, which is nice.
Holly has a couple job interviews tomorrow and Friday, so wish her luck. It sounds like the person who phoned her for the Friday interview is really interested, so hopefully she will have a new job soon.
Other than that, we're broke. We had planned on going out to eat Saturday for my birthday, but I don't know if that is going to happen anymore. No biggie either way.
Not much else is up. I'm sure I could purge my brain for some more bloggable fodder but I need to finish my second cup of coffee and get on to work.
take it easy
