Assessment

It is that rare and wonderful time of assessing and
rating myself, falling down on my knees in humble
abeyance confessing a myriad sins, though my life
might be saved by translating an Arabic document
against all the odds given that every letter has a
standard appearance that changes according to
position in words, beginning, middle and end

It was great fun, a challenge I enjoyed so much, maybe
this little victory will prevent my Departmental Masters
from precipitately consigning me to the ranks of the
totally useless…
