Good thing:
Have I mentioned that I have booked another flight?! To Berlin!
My dear friend Petra is turning 30!! Petra is younger than me and one of the most intelligent people I know. She's a diplomat!
I'm going next weekend. :-D

Some people have asked what exactly I am doing and who those people are that I am getting quite upset about at times...

Times are extremely busy right now, I am swearing a lot (and so is Muriel!).
Today I had a real tantrum and shouted at Nigel and Emma. Poor Marc was all scared and recalled all the e-mails he had just sent out, LOL! But it HAD to be said. And the instructions in the e-mails were wrong. And then right again. And then wrong.... Ahhhh!!
Palm is a nightmare. It's like running in a dream when you can't get off the spot - exactly like that!

But what I am busy with most of the time is Microsoft. Today I tried again to update my "project forecast sheet", but it is just so BIG!
We're up to number 58 with the project codes now, and the list of languages is so long:

Arabic, Basque, Bosnian, Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Chinese (Hong Kong), Czech, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, French (Canadian), German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Islandic, Italian, Kazakh, Korean, Lithuanian, Latvian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin American), Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese...

So on an average working day I will receive emails from at least  these following people (and they are ONLY the translators!):

Paula, Nawja, Stella, Ines, Roberta, Anna, Gisela, Ana, Francisco, Mihail, Albert, Rosa, Wen-I, Chao-Min, Domingo, Koa, Monika, Marija,  Per, Anne, Michiel, Maris, Saara, Kaija, Krista, Gwenaël, Claire, Emmanuelle, Jerry, Alphonse, Jana, Simone, Christian, Kornelia, Andreas, Elisabeth, Inbal, Jaideep, Csaba, Federica, Violetta, Irene, Anastasia, Kenneth, KyeonYoung, WonJin, Rastko, Krzysztof, Sašo, Sigrid Margrete, Anne, Félix, Ana, Nuno, Arina, Ivan, Yulian, Simon, Tomasz, Iva, Cristina, Antonio, Clara, Ana, Giovanna, Thomas, Jan, Theo, Duangporn, Burak, Oleg...

With this list you can try to play "spot the language", or you maybe you're looking for a baby name?

I love them all. I'm very sorry for being rude from time to time. But just DO WHAT I SAY!!!!

Other topic

Time Machine got featured on YouTube this week, so the views went up from a couple of hundred to a whopping (current) 100,777!!!!!
Wow.
Of course the number of idiot comments increased in the same way.

I love him so much. Unconditionally.
It's nothing to do with reason, or opinions... I do that in my professional life, not my emotional life.

So to finish this soppy chapter, let's hear it from Erich Fried (translation by anon):

Take this and stuff it in your ugly face. Eat another Aitkin's burger to make your fat arse even wider. Oh, you know you're right!
No, not you, Oliver! :-)
 It's so sad that it's really impossible to argue with an idiot...
They are relentless. And Madonna is a saint compared to you.

I quite like Madonna.
