Depending entirely on who made the film and how many resources were available, my text could become one of those superficial documentaries with a talking head, or it could show close-ups of the glass art work it discusses, how the techniques are practised, and what the results look like.

The next job is an employment contract. I suppose that could be angled to introduce the employing company and showcase some of the work it does and people it works for - it is a service company that gets out in the real world.
Then I have an offer from another museum, to translate a description of their academic research and resulting practical services.
With a bit of imagination, maybe good films could be made from more of my work than I expected when I first saw the question! ▲ Collapse

Terminator or Southern Comfort - I have not been taking any prisoners this week

Received one amusing and very unexpected request. Heard from a client I thought was er... dead. Heard from a prospect I believed "dead" too. Wondered when one client was going to make that long-awaited biggish bank transfer and finally received it earlier than they’d promised (later than due date, though).
Realised I haven’t started my Xmas shopping yet.
Definitely not a boring week.

Time for some self-deprecating humor, am I right?
I got a translation test result back, and let's just say I won't be stepping out of my comfort zone for a while.

Something fast-paced with lots of car chases, unexpected twists and a particularly convoluted story-line!
