Oh, by the way, I'd have almost ended up as a translator for the next weeks. The department here responsible for translating texts from/into English is seriously overworked (not enough personnel since the whole bureau is undergoing restructuring to reinforcing the counter-terrorism unit). Unfortunately, my boss said 'no' on my behalf while I was still on vacation; he wants me to get used to the regular work here. Argh. I'd have preferred the translation thing; would have been fun!

*sigh*
