I read an article recently that said that tea is supposed to be better for boosting brain performance than coffee, because it gives you a more steady supply of caffeine than coffee, which provides more of a jolt.

Since big translation jobs tend to require sustained concentration, I suppose that tea is the way to go.  But coffee is very delicious.  Maybe if I just sip it...

I was thinking about how my Golden-Week-centered vacation happened to coincide nicely with a lull and then a subsequent surge of work when it occurred to me that it would probably be a good idea to look at the company work schedules of the past and see if there is enough consistency in workload fluctuations to create some kind of seasonal busyness chart.  Such a chart would probably be a very handy vacation planning tool.
