Quote of the day: "God im feeling really sick now ...I think I must have had a dodgy ciggy" Claire	14:30 OK, here's where it's at: Verdict: Five days community service Fine plus court costs Rehab God bless the internet and Paul! LOL I got the news virtually in real-time, which also meant I got them in the midst of work. Work was stressful today, not so much because I had to work a lot but because of the many scary prospects of loads of work to come... I had a call with Amanda and Rachel about the huge new KbTS project and Rachel broke down in tears! Now if Rachel is crying something must be totally wrong, I was shocked! It's just the nerves of course. Luckily we're both off next week, which will be good! Amanda sees a possibility that I'll be sent to Microsoft to get training on their automatic translation tool. The languages in question are Chinese and Korean so I won't really be able to "check the quality" of the translation output myself, but an Asian lead would be sent as well. Microsoft are based in Seattle though and I've already been there! LOL I finally sent off the Getty stuff to the Brazilian freelancer, urging her to get started on the styleguide before Monday. But it should be fine. A few very long calls with Ines should set her on the right track.	The verdict is still quite a big verdict, I think. OK, he doesn't have to go to jail but otherwise it's an impressive list. And it has been a plea bargain, which is of course not "innocent"...not that I'd care very much. :-) It should all be a relief, but of course it doesn't work like that. I still feel concerned. I had wanted to buy the people at work a drink, but then I just felt so tired and went home. Maybe later.
Person of the day: Rachel
Annoyances of the day: That cold has finally caught up with me. My throat has been scratchy all day and now my nose is running. Fiona is back on the Forum. It made me laugh out LOUD! No bad feelings against her, but now the BORING threads about how George has insulted Jon and how "extreme makeup" equals drug-taking etc. have started again. I makes me want to puke.
Picture of the day: Nice glasses, Paul...
