First I translated a product catalog. Kinda woo but the content is not my problem. Now I'm doing the website and it hasn't been updated to match the product names and range in the catalog. The intermediary client says that the catalog is newer so use those names. Will the end client redo the original website to match the catalog? Shouldn't they have done that before translation? Will they pay me twice to do it all over again?

The international sports event (see embedded Tweet) went over budget so 5 construction supervisors + 4 interpreters during assembly → 1-2 construction supervisors + 1 interpreter during takedown. The company doesn't want to pay for hotels any more so they want the interpreters to be local. There is no talented local interpreter that can commit to the full 10 weeks of sorting scaffolding pipes outside in summer. We need to take turns, and that means we need a hotel for out of town staff. https://twitter.com/fukuoka2022jp/status/1682676859903913984

The construction company refused to negotiate on hotels so I had to turn this down. Before expenses the pay is very good. I will enjoy summer break with my kids and increase my online freelance work. Any bilingual goons living in Fukuoka who want to get paid to work out this summer? PM me. peanut posted:The international sports event (see embedded Tweet) went over budget so 5 construction supervisors + 4 interpreters during assembly → 1-2 construction supervisors + 1 interpreter during takedown.

Costco requires its (food) suppliers to pay overtime on a 1-minute basis. Sometimes suppliers get dropped because they can't/won't comply.

I go, get the stuff I need out the cupboard (and also steal a ream of his departments printer paper for my department, thats like gold dust round here), return it and say "Hey, just out of interest, why are your work keys attached to the poo emoji?" He, I swear to god, goes dead white and says "THE WHAT?" "The poo emoji, you know, this?" "I THOUGHT IT WAS A HAPPY TRIANGLE!". rofl

The app of choice here is LINE which I prefer over other apps for the following reasons: - Mute all notifications by individual user/group (no blinking dots, except from your most important people!) - Disable people from adding you unless you're mutually registered in each other's address books. - Reaction option - Edit usernames on just your phone (add last names or where you met) Whatsapp actually lets through phone calls from unregistered users, it's terrible. Telegram is good for one-way announcements. Zalo is like Whatsapp but centered in Vietnam so I rarely get spam.

Today my coworker told me about a construction job they did in Chile. The Chilean host company wrote up the US subcontractor company as the worst safety rating for multiple negligent death accidents because they wrote their forms in black pen and black is the death color so they had to rewrite everything, absolutely everything, in blue pen and confiscate all the deadly black ink pens until the end of the project.
