I've been somewhat defeated by a pesky computer problem over the past several days. One of the translation teams is using a program specially designed for translation work, and I've never touched it before. So, when they start having problems formatting documents to import into the program, and then having problems opening the program itself... well, I'm a little out of my league. I've gotten some very good help already from my remote computer geeks. And I think that I probably could sit and figure it all out after a time...
BUT, one of my remote computer geeks is flying in from the UK tomorrow afternoon! Yahoo! He's coming to stay for 10 days or so, and he's going to fix all our problems around here :) To tell you the truth, I thought he was coming next week, so I'm really not ready for him (for instance, I wanted to tidy up the "hub" where we keep all the internet and network computer stuff, and clear a desk of all the boxes I've been busy unpacking in there so that he actually has a place to work. But I didn't realize he was coming so soon until this afternoon!
Anyways, there was much rejoicing by me when I realized he's coming just in time to help with this pesky translation program problem :)
And I have my work cut out for me tomorrow in clearing him a place to work, amidst the calendar template that I'm working on for the teams to make a calendar in their own languages for 2009, the literacy book covers that I have to print out and check, the report I have to write... you get the picture!
Besides, my knee is really hurting for some odd reason (just started a few hours ago), so I'm hobbling around like an old lady. This on top of the hay fever that I've been suffering from and the funky stomach that I've had for the past two days. I tell you, I'm really feeling old these days - my poor little body is letting me down today! (But don't worry, it could all be a LOT worse - I'm not really suffering from anything serious! But you can keep praying for health, as this place is not only hard on computers, it's also hard on one's body!)
