Last phase of the project

We just submitted the 2nd batch of the project to our contact yesterday. I’m the last one who submitted my file to think that the file assigned to hubby was twice bigger than mine. Sigh. There’s just one word to it, procrastination. I can’t focus on my job without opening my email, or peek at my own blogs. I’m maintaining four blogs now. Sometimes, I still try to visit paid post sites to see if I have any offers. I’m so easily distracted with a lot of things going in the Internet. Right now, I’m looking at the site where they feature barcode scanners. See, it has nothing to do with what I’m writing about but I landed on the site while looking for a gadget (will tell you about it next time).

I received the third and last batch of the project yesterday and I’m working on it right now. Like the previous batches, we were only given 20 days to complete it and submit. I know that project doesn’t end there, we are expecting that the files will be returned to us for possible correction. So on our end, we really have to make good and commit minimal mistake as possible. I really need to focus now.

Forgetful

post-it-notes

Oh dear. My being so forgetful is getting worse each day. While I’m doing my translation job I find it difficult to remember the Tagalog translation for some simple English words that I’m repeatedly using all throughout the project. The project requires us to strictly follow the glossary provided for us. What is happening to me? Could it be part of the irreversible ageing process a.k.a. sign of old age? :(  But at this point, I don’t want my “forgetfulness” to delay the things or job that I want to accomplish. So to make life easier for me, I use this post-it-note tool (one of the features of Microsoft 2010) to list down all the simple words and their translation on my desktop to keep them handy when I need them. Good thing I don’t forget to visit www.supplementcritic.com today for my review on a certain slimming product. You see, I still manage to write reviews for my blogs in between my hectic schedule for my other job. I maybe forgetful, but it doesn’t stop me from performing more than one task at the same time. Is it what other mommies are calling it, multi-tasking? Well, you can call me a forgetful multi-tasker. 😀
