"I'm outta here" & "Office life"
I've really suffered from having to stay in my office this winter. The grey weather in particular hasn’t done much to entice me out. Not only have I found it hard for the first time in five years to be in the same four walls so much, but I've also felt very lonely.

The Chinese have relied on feng shui for over 3,000 years to assure an abundance of wealth and love in their lives. Feng shui experts believe that by creating harmony and balance in your physical environment you will attract good luck and prosperity in all areas of your life. So what does this have to do with freelance translators?

Translator's Home Office
Home is where your pillow is, and for a freelance translator, it's also where the desk with its attendant office equipment and dictionaries is. But what office equipment is right for a translator? Should you buy that Thinking Machines II system, good for sequencing the genome of a wholly mammoth, but perhaps overkill for a translator? Is MAT software a wise investment?
