Congratulations on your new job! The only tip I have is to follow @askamanager.org because her site has the best tips and information on everything workplace-related. Also it’s heartbreaking what’s happening to the translation industry so you’ve done well to find a job in a different field.

I skipped the swatch (because I only printed out two pages of the pattern) and also just guessed at the size of needles I’m using, and it’s still looking good!

That update gave me so much anxiety. Genuinely happy for the letter writer.

We often hold ourselves to higher standards than our customers are asking for!

Such a good feeling! Love that sense that you’ve contributed to other people understanding (without having to go through what you did)

1) instead of thinking the source text is poorly written, question whether there’s something I haven’t understood, 2) don’t be afraid of technology, because the tools I used at the start of my career are nothing like the tools I’m using 25 years later

I’m a fan of Marie Vareille for some light reading. Will look at my bookshelf for more ideas.
