Decontamination, part four

This part is definitely more lighthearted than the last one, which is why it remains public. I write it at this late hour because I just finished working on a transcript so that I wouldn't have to do it tomorrow. There is still one other file, but it's shorter. I am encouraged by my client's new idea to pitch a "free" personal audio recorder and transcription service so that his clients can take research notes throughout the year. It's not free to my client, who I would assume bought the mp3 recorders and most definitely pays me for the transcription service. The files are usually short, but the bottom line is, if all the clients put together generate thirty six files at one minute in length each, that's one more hour of pay than I would be making otherwise. "Short" encompasses things from ten minutes down, and several clients have agreed to this.

There's one more of these to cover, regarding Monday, but that should be a shorter post.

Inspired by Remus, uninspired by October

A star-nosed mole. I've seen one that a cat killed before, but generally when I describe this thing foreigners don't believe me. These are the sorts of burrowers we get in lieu of any hedgehog.

Oh, and the proofread cutoff for AAManuscript--I wish there were a version still existing that didn't have the Elfkin revision to the beginning, unfortunately I think I lost it with the old hard drive--is July 24. If you even get it in on July 25 Australian time, failure will ensue. If you really don't like it and believe it will end in failure, then you have a golden opportunity to say nothing, so I can delight in succeeding despite your gut instinct. If I haven't given you enough time, too bad, I'm revising this all August long and then getting to the other one in September, then being more depressed in October as usual, then writing the third in November. I can't stand not doing anything with it anymore, except for the next week.
