I'm a translator! And I get paid for it!
Feb. 22nd, 2008 06:45 pmOmg, I just realised that I'm now officially getting paid to translate stuff! Well, for the upcoming week at least, but - hee salary! In exchange of translations!
In other words, I got the job :-) Not for long but a job is a job. Especially as it's the Very First Time I work in a domain that interests me. Something that actually has to do with my studies and the degree I got. I never thought it'd happen *blink*
Mind you, some things are a bit sketchy and I'm waiting til Monday to have a talk with my boss because, okay, I'm a nice girl and everything, but I'm not stupid so I have some questions and I'd like them answered.
Still, in the meantime, I got the job!
I wanted to watch SPN as a reward for my first day back to work - ten hours today, I decided I deserved it - but it'll have to wait because we're celebrating my sister's birthday tonight with my godfather, aunt and cousins. Anticipation is half the pleasure, anyway, so I'll just wait :-)
Oh and
alinewrites mentioned a show which sounded quite interesting but alas the torrent I found never took off, so does anyone know a link to a working torrent for the pilot of Being Human? Actually, does anyone know that series? Because it sounds all kinds of awesome: It features three twenty-something characters trying to live a normal social life, despite being a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf respectively, and it's a brit show! Always a nice bonus in my book :-)
Speaking of brit stuff; I've bought my Eurostar tickets for London, so - unless something happens to ruin it - I'm now officially going to London on March, 7th. The plan is to spend the day there with
yami_tai before we head for Milton Keynes. And then, Wincon! Nice plan, eh? I think so too *g*

Date: 2008-02-22 05:57 pm (UTC)As for Being Human, it's indeed awesome. I loooooved it. It's just a pilot, so far, so we gotta hope that there'll be more. As for your torrent problem... I have the file, I also know where to get it except not in torrent form. Right now, there's no way my connection can permit me uploading the whole thing, so I hope you find it somewhere. If not, once I've moved to the new provider, I can definitely help you, but that's not going to be before at least two weeks.

Date: 2008-02-24 12:10 am (UTC)Thanks the offer but I'm good. Aline a été super rapide sur ce coup là et j'ai téléchargé l'épisode chez elle - enfin sur son LJ, je veux dire :-)
I downloaded it, watched it, and kinda fell in love with it right away! I've already started pimping the show, as a matter of fact *g* Well, I've pimped the pilot, that is.

Boring stuff lol Basically, I work for a business-to-business market search firm. So that's what I translate; the result of those market searches.

Date: 2008-02-22 06:57 pm (UTC)I'd say go to iPlayer for that show, then I remembered that iPlayer is for UK residents only :-(
If all else fails, it is still available for the next 5 days, so I could dl it from there and then burn it to DVD for you, now I have the Roxio software from my sister. I believe you have my email, if you'd like to go that route.

Date: 2008-02-24 12:17 am (UTC)Those Country-residents-only sites are so frustrating!
And thanks for the offer, you're doll! You won't have to do anything, though, as I was able to download the pilot this morning thanks to another friend.

Weeeell, if you mean 'me', I'm pretty sure I don't. Seeing I'll be with Tai, I'm totally trusting her to know where to go and how to get there :-)

It is all kinds of awesome! In the end, I used someone's download so I don't know about the torrent, but since I want to pimp the show to everyone, I also uploaded myself and will share asap.
So if you haven't found the episode by then, you'll find it on my LJ *g*
