Doesn't look like Proz planned ahead work-wise regarding poll questions does it!
But if you're that sad about it, Chris, I'm sure you could do something about it. You might want to keep it in the frivolous thread though

I plan everything ahead Dec 16, 2020

I know what I'm going to have for lunch. I know what I'm going to do for the rest of the day.

Nobody could ever do anything unless they first planned out how they were going to do it.

So I find the question really quite silly. Isn't pretty b****y obvious that before I begin a translating job I plan how I'm going to do it?

The only sure thing are my 45 days off in summer on my boat sailing on the Adriatic sea from island to island.

That is why I work all year long ...


But you've forgotten all the planning you need to do just to get your boat working. I get tired just thinking about what must be involved in that.

It's no real loss. It's been incredibly repetitive for a long time Dec 18, 2020

I was about to make a similar comment. In any case, it's so repetitive that some colleagues seem to have a TM of ready responses that they pull out to reply by posting the same thing over and over again. I have the impression that the new 'go-to' page is the WIWO braggers' forum.

Quick Poll AND Poll Dec 19, 2020

Do we really need both a Quick Poll and a Poll with the same topic running in two different areas on the ProZ homepage?
I mean, the current Quick Poll has been up since 26 November!
And there appears to be no way of hiding this 'feature' from the homepage.
