Departure
Jason Kuznicki on May 24th 2005
As of this post, I am leaving the blogosphere for what will probably be several weeks.
During this time I will be translating a long 18th-century French manuscript on a relatively short deadline. The pay is certainly worth it, but between this job and my dissertation, I will have no time to make blog posts, to read them, or to participate in comment threads.
While some historians seem to resent the translations they must do for their work, I have always found translating to be a moment of fun even in my dullest projects. I would love to find work as a translator, and depending on how this project turns out, I may just go for it.
In any case, I will certainly return to blogging, but I can’t say whether it will be next week or a month and a half from now; neither the manuscript nor the exact deadline has arrived yet. In any event, drop me an e-mail if you want to be notified when I return.
