Translate this

First day of work. I didn't go to work, because I don't even know where work is, exactly. I should figure that out before class starts. But I did do work, and when you're basically a lazy piece of crap like I am, working all day makes you super tired. Whine. And, holy crap this is hard. All I have to do is translate some already-made lecture slides (actually about 70 slides, which is part of the problem) from English to Spanish and, if I can't do that, I really shouldn't have this job in the first place. But I already knew I shouldn't have this job in the first place; I even tried to tell them so when I was first offered the job. Anyway, here I am. And it's not that I can't translate the slides, I just can't translate them quickly, or perfectly, or, apparently, without freaking out about how unprepared I am. On the bright side, once the slides are made I could probably just read them to the class word for word and refuse to answer any questions and I still wouldn't be the worst statistics professor ever. Although, this being their first stats class, they might not realize it.
