depends on the time of year Jan 16

now, when it's cold: yoga pants and hoodie/cardigan and fuzzy socks
warmer weather: yoga pants and tshirt
hot weather: shorts and tanktop/tshirt or this loose dress.

all this has saved me a ton of money on work wardrobe.

don't remember what it's like to feel warm......


Remember to keep warm. Otherwise, you'll be translating on a cold engine.

Here, in Japan, we have electric foot warmers, courtesy of some worker in China.
They're a foot square, electrically heated, material-covered plate with a High/Low setting and a furry type cover that you can slip you're feet into. Electrically heated Crocs, if you like.

Once the circulation gets going, the rest of you will warm up within a short time. A hot cuppa coffee also helps!

However, they're still not as good as bunny wabbit slippers!

Warm translating!


I agree, and recommend these:

My sister-in-law refuses to put the heating on except from 6 to 7 (am+pm) so you never see any more of my niece than that!

During 'normal' work hours I wear casual office clothes, but when translating at night, which happens quite often, I wear comfortable clothes, mostly loose battle uniform trousers and a jumper.
