Give me five

Mon, Oct 2, 2006

Friends

All the emails in my inbox are from work. And not about the nice, creative work I am supposed to be fixing my attention on. They are about translation work, and they keep hitting me like torpedoes. I hit RECEIVE hoping that a nice email, is going to appear (out of nowhere, since I didn’t post in the weekend) one of those "you are so funny, hahaha, lol" emails, and instead I get 5 consecutive boring emails with 5 attachments each, every attachment being a 55 page document I have to translate. Five is the magic number here.

P.S Sorry to all the IE users. I am trying to fix the problem that makes the right column disappear. Erm, any chance of changing browsers?

    hi Cathy! thanks so much. I posted a photo for you in Froth Photos, “late night shopping” it’s a department store in Athens. xx

    You will always be one of my most favorite people because you make me smile. You are a very special person.

    Those people at work just tend to take you for granted.

    Hugs,
    Connie

    I’m very fond of nice e-mails but I wouldn’t mind if someone sent me a little work to do…lol just a tiny little bit of it. And then a bunch of nice e-mails :)

    Connie

    Stephanie

    wcdixon
    oh you know how to say the right things. even if you only need to copy paste them (i read your email)
    xx

    devil
    i see them too!
    i saw the light.
    still, Mozilla is the better browser (firefox).

  8. justacoolcat Says:

    Well something has changed for the better because the site now loads again. There were a few weeks I couldn’t get it to load, and changing browsers wasn’t an option.

    I’m glad it’s fixed!

  9. just sayin' Says:

    Yes, I like Firefox. It’s the only one I use. You’re creative, smart, cute, funny, interesting, and more.I try to read you every day.

    το ίδιο παράπονο έιχε εχθές η αδερφή μου…χμμμ… μάλλον έχεις δίκαιο, οκ an iCard is on its way to you :-)

  11. missy Says:

    I hope this non-translate me message finds itself on your inbox!

    Speaking of inboxes, I have 123 emails that need attention and some of them go about 6 months ago from friends only trying to keep in touch. I’m so bad at this really :-(

    So, when are you in London next? :-)

  12. DayByDay4-2Day Says:

    I’ve been hitting that in box button also with no deliveries.

  13. Anonymous Says:

    I’ll send one too. Really, if you want nice emails, all you have to do is ask. ^_^

    I don’t suppose you can’t just Babelfish all those docs, can you?

  14. CiscoKid Says:

    Have you tried Firefox for a browser?…

  15. Meow Says:

    I use IE, and all the columns are there for me !!
    Isn’t it a bugger when there are no fun emails waiting … only work … no fun at all !! Don’t work too hard, will you.
    I have a stack of typing I should be doing, too … but, what am I doing … blogging !!
    Have a great week, dear Chloe.
    Take care, hugs, Meow xx

  16. sophie Says:

    you ARE funny!!!!

    I ALWAYS say that!!!!!!!!:)

    And you are smart too.

    And very beautiful.

    And silly.

    Silly is good:)

  17. gina Says:

    ack!!! 5 55 pages to translate?? poor dear. you need a yummy pastry and a mini-break.
    Ok, five nice things
    1. you ARE FUNNY
    2. you are clever
    3. you are creative as all get out
    4. your smile is stunning
    5. you are witty and smart.
    shall i email this list to you??

  18. blackcrag Says:

    Actually, I think you owe certain other people some reply e-mails.

    I always find if I want mail in my inbox, I need to send som eout. And so I write some and click ‘Send’.

    But still I don’t get any replies. I can think of… four people, I believe, that owe me reply e-mails. What’s taking them so long?

  19. Chloe Says:

    cool cat
    i had no idea the site couldn’t load!

    just sayin
    thank you. i was begging for compliments in this post and now i got them!

    vista

    missy

    i am going to take care of that.

    erikku
    no i can’t! what comes out usually makes little sense.

    cisco
    that’s what i use, firefox.

    meow
    you have a nice week too. i am usually happy among papers but they have to be the right kind.

    sophie
    silly is very good!
    you are silly too. and goofy. xx

    gina
    thank you my sweet. actually comments are emailed to me, so it’s a great email i got already.

    Crag
    i waited for your reply to mine erm for about a week? or a bit more than that. be patient too (good things come to those who wait)
    :) xxxxx

    Your sidebars work fine for me and I’m still using IE.

    55 pages of translation, ouch !

    Is the translation English to Greek ?

  21. Chloe Says:

    Ben
    no it’s from Greek to English. It’s difficult because it’s people talking in a dialect. I don’t understand half of it and i am supposed to translate it. :)

  22. Kieran Says:

    You are so funny, hahaha, lol.

    Just use Babelfish and be done with it. Easy (; Job done.

  23. martie Says:

    Looks as if you received some of those NICE e-mails you were hoping for. It looks like I’m the 24th one so far. I acutally am visiting via Connia and Rob, but I’ll be back another time now that I know you are here.

    Have a grand day and don’t work too hard!
