Word of the morning is ‘forwallowed’ (15th century): wearied from tossing and turning night after night.

ATTN: I'm looking for a German/English translator for my latest book "Der längste Krieg"/"The Longest War". People with knowledge about the topic or some kind of Afghanistan-background are preferred. Feel free to reach me out via DM or email. Manana.

After a long day with complicated texts, file formats etc I could call it a day. But for the umpteenth time I have to wait for a proofreader who never delivers a text way before a deadline (800 words and said person has them since monday) but always late. #xl8 #notprofessional

„zeitnah“, „Ich bin ganz bei Ihnen“ oder „proaktiv“ – unsere Sprache hat Zuwachs bekommen: Business Bullshit breitet sich immer weiter aus. Wir alle verwenden solche Phrasen, oft ohne zu merken, wie inhaltslos oder irreführend sie sind. 💬 @Dudenverlag

@BirgitHofmann @erik_hansson Ohmy. But they have refrained from showing a translator in "typical work attire" aka PJs or something similar - and who does wear boots at home? #sowrong #weareprofessionals#xl8

Every time when I am stressed out because of a pending deadline, all the neighbours decide to use each and every loud tool that is available - for hours. arrgh #mustconcentrate #xl8 #whathappenedtoMittagsruhe
