It's that time of the year again.
We're more understaffed and overworked than ever, I just received a 3500-word project that's supposed to go in tomorrow at 11:00 — only we had planned for a submit time of Monday noon, as Apple had originally promised — we have another 6000 words for Monday morning, and I have hardly had any sleep tonight, nor will I this weekend. I might be able to get hold of a freelance translator, but they can't be expected to be on call on a Saturday afternoon; if I don't, I will work late tonight. Very late.
In one week's time, it won't be my problem anymore, but until then I will have to handle it. At least I can speak my mind about it now — what are they going to do, fire me?

I managed to meet the deadline for this morning at least... Now I just have a shitload of words left for today.
