Hit the mark of 2,400 entries for my idiomatic dictionary project. This is a breath of fresh air for me, as I'm doing something that's more fun than a bag of worms... and educational too. It takes a lot of research and dedication. One thing for sure: the internet is riddled with mistranslated idioms!

Second failed attempt at an attorney-client interpretation conference on Zoom. Deponent didn't show up. After a 15-minute wait, the lawyer dismissed me and the court reporter. Good thing: I'll get paid the full rate.
