And honestly, I don't think I'd really want to."<br /><br />Hi Betty, and I think the same way. I'm a self-employed translator and interpreter and that means I can't just say "no, sorry, I'm on holiday" for two or three weeks if clients ask me to work. But that's not a problem because I earn enough in 2.5/3 weeks to live comfortably so I just go away for a few days as and when it's convenient. And if work comes whilse I'm on a break, oh well, I just do it unless it would take more than, say, 5 hours. It's not a perfect setup but at least I get no holiday tailbacks, no constraints and, most of all, no boss. <br /><br />An anecdote? I went to London in July for four days to see friends in and at almost the very moment my train pulled out of the station here in Lyon to take me there I got a text message from a major client asking me if I could translate four pages in a hurry. The timing was amusingly ironic. Anyway, I did that job on my phone (no wifi) between Lyon and Lille. Downside? Not being able to look at the countryside go by. Upside? €300-odd euros earned in 2.5 hours whilst drinking a beer or two in an almost empty carriage. :)<br /><br />As for NaBloPoMo and others of that ilk, hmmmm. Let's just say that one is not in an ongoing being convinced situation.<br /><br />Excellent evening to you and yours,<br />Frip.Fripouillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14321346986665375480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346907309197209366.post-39815489522970360862013-01-03T23:47:05.505+01:002013-01-03T23:47:05.505+01:00What tut-tut said!

I have made a few good contacts through it, but contacts aren't what's lacking anymore. It's just the time to read and write blogs. I figure I'll do the best I can!Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346907309197209366.post-56152966606436344382013-01-02T20:10:30.167+01:002013-01-02T20:10:30.167+01:00I agree; no more NaBloPoMo.
