One of the nice things about translation work these days is that you can do it from the beach!
Rent a nice villa by the sea on Ko Samui, pop out for a swim when you need a break, have wi-fi for email and live on low prices with gorgeous food but earn a normal salary...
It makes boring work a whole more tolerable!
Be genki,
