A forced holiday

Back again after quiete some time! But I have a good excuse - I was forced to take some holiday from the translation and Internet business.

No, not because I would have won a week on the Caribbean or in Tahiti! Why roam so far afield? I just went next door, to Germany, for family reasons and could not get into the Internet!

I tell you, I was nearly going crazy in the first place. Running around like an headless chicken feeling the earth shuffeling under my feet!!! Awful! (Also for family and friends...)

But then, all of a sudden, after some days, the ZEN feeling took over: I laid back to relaxe, to have some good beer after the Reinheitsgebot and I just did not think anymore about all the clients I was loosing in just that moment! The western way of ZEN! What else can you do?

When I came finally back to my dear computer at home, I stroke tenderly his head! And he did not disappoint me: The damage was not too bad! I lost two new clients from which one was a German agency! They had offered some translation work by email. But the email was so unprofessionnal that I did not even bother to send an answer!


All in all it was an exhausting and though helpful experience: Now, I sometimes allow myself to break away from the office for a short while! And then, I dream of Tahiti!
