Making Things Easier

Deadlines keep getting tighter. Here is an actual conversation I had with a client*:

Client: We have about 400 lines that need to be translated by tomorrow.
Trench (looking at calendar): Sorry, no can do. I’m all booked up for the next several days.
Client: Tell you what - the translation doesn’t have to be all that good. Does that make things easier?

*Actually, the agency did the talking. But they were representing my interests, right? Besides, what’s a little embellishment between friends, anyway?
