Mox is a young but well educated translator. Two PhDs, six languages...
and he hardly earns the minimum wage.

Mox is my favorite character but Calvo is my absolute HERO!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, even worse when there are several versions of the same document....
ReplyDeleteI need Mr. Iam's services. How much does he earn? I will pay him as double as much!
ReplyDeleteI HEART CALVO
ReplyDeleteCan't stop laughing
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely great! (And true, especially in the public sector).
ReplyDeleteOr... invite them to your project management platform for him to send you new project requests and retrieve their own stuff even if it was something you delivered... 8 years ago! :)

I simply *LOVE* Calvo! (I imagine that after 35 years as a translator I also have some of his cynicism - apart from the beard).
ReplyDeleteCuriously enough, I once experienced a similar situation, with a customer asking me for a document about one year later submitting the work. I told him that in accordance with my non-disclosure agreement I had destroyed the document immediately after being paid, but that I would be delighted to translate it again... as soon as he sent me the PO. ;)
