Just When I Thought Everything Was Okay ...

With all the suits' requests and client requirements fulfilled yesterday, I was thinking of taking it easy today and catch up on some video training. I knew something was amiss after lunch when Charlene followed up with a French flyer.

I thought I hadn't received the French translation yet and was waiting for them to be provided it to me. Then I checked my e-mail; Charlene e-mailed it to me last week! Panic set in, of course.

I remember Rob telling me that French versions were normally 30% longer than the English ones. He wasn't kidding. I ended up reducing the font sizes to accommodate the extra-long copy.

I was done in two hours, with ample time to do some other tasks.
