Summer 2015
Today is officially the first day of fall, but here in Los Angeles county it still feels like summer.
So what did you do this summer?
Did you go on vacation? Or have a staycation, like I did?
Since my freelance work is slower during the summer, it's the best time to get out and enjoy the wonderful weather.
I had a great and busy summer, that is why I ask that you please pardon me for not posting blogs since mid June.
I'm actually surprised I was able to do any work during the months leading up to the summer.
Why? Because I had a baby girl in April! Yay :).
A month before I had my baby, I wrote a blog, Why Translators And Interpreters Compare Themselves To Doctors And Lawyers (that I was almost not going to post) it wasn't really popular.
A month after my daughter was born I posted the same article on LinkedIn and that is where it really got attention and to my surprise it was a hit!
It's been viewed over 10,000 times!
It struck a chord with the translation and interpretation community.
Imagine my surprise when I would get alerts on my cell phone at 2 o'clock in the morning via twitter or LinkedIn that someone tweeted, commented, or shared my post.
This has been going on since I posted the article back in May.
I could not believe the amount of positive responses I got, the shares, feedback, and support.
We are truly blessed to be part of this wonderful worldwide language community.
What a supportive group.
Seeing the enormous amount of interest in this topic, made me want to spend the rest of the summer working on new blogs (which I will post soon) to help clients and professionals.
I've also meant to post about my bundle of joy sooner but never got around to do it.
I've been so busy with my newborn, work, appointments, the eLingual.Net site's update, meetings, my sons, my hubby, and trying to fit in some vacation time as well.
So now that summer is finally over I have found time to share my summer.
Here is my summer in pictures.

In a nutshell, summer 2015 was awesome!
Let's make the rest of the 2015 year a memorable one too.
As always, thank you for reading and sharing my posts. Feel free to connect or email me, Carmen Arismendy. I'm a professional Spanish interpreter-translator and founder of eLingual.Net. I started the eLingual Network because I could not find a fair, no middleman, no job bidding, ethical, and transparent meeting place for translators, interpreters and clients online. The website is in beta phase and by no means perfect but it's a step in the right direction.
eLingual.Net's mission is to spread happiness worldwide through happy translators, interpreters, and clients.
For the professional translator and interpreter, this means no middleman, no job bidding, the freedom of setting their own fees, having control over their services, and who they choose to work with.
For the clients, this means working directly with ethical and professional translators and interpreters committed to quality and value.
Join our happy community, let's work together!
