我经常早上起来看到老外半夜2点-6点之间发个邮件过来派任务而且要求尽快确认，我每天这段时间邮箱都是设置的自动回复，叫他们可以打电话。等我睡到9点起床，这个项目说不定都没有了。你们怎么解决这个问题啊。

| My experience | Mar 7, 2008 |
I used to live in Germany, but now I am back in Singapore. I have the same problem - 99% of my clients are in Europe and the US. They start their office hours at 4pm my time and end at 3am the next morning. I have no choice but to stay with their hours. I still get up at 8 in the morning, but I take a nap in the afternoon (sometimes one more in the evening) so I can last till 3am. It's not a big deal for me because I am a night owl anyway.
You can also consider getting a Blackberry.... See more I used to live in Germany, but now I am back in Singapore. I have the same problem - 99% of my clients are in Europe and the US.

You can also consider getting a Blackberry. You get instant email notifications so if there is a job you are interested in, you can get out of bed to reply. Of course, this disrupts your sleep.
I think it really depends on how you want to balance life and work. Some people insist on having regular, normal hours. For me, I am flexible. For newbies in this industry, they may have to work harder to establish a client base, so "catching" these clients is important.
Good luck!

他们从我们下午4点或5点开始上班，我们还能有点交集，最多被他们拖着到晚上3点睡觉，但是长久对身体很大伤害。而且到了晚上大陆网速很慢，稿子过大传不过来也发不过去，昨天发给英国人一个稿子就11MB，足足用了3个小时，想尽各种方法，唉。
但是美国和加拿大就不行了。老外早上告诉我任务分配了：（

大姐发帖，总得说点什么支持一下
我的做法同大姐不太一样，我选择‘教育’老外客户。有时晚间十点多收到“美国佬”的八百里加急文件，要次日交付，我一般都刻意等到隔天中午时分，酒足饭饱后才发个电邮过去。根据我的经验，急件其实没那么多，所以，我也极少因为这样而失去工作。而且久而久之，美国客户就知道“急件”什么的唬不了人，也会自动从次日交付变成三五天交付。

这个办法好，值得仿效。我现在留下的客户都是知道我正常工作时间的。

其实，客户根本不必教育，要嘛接稿，要嘛拉倒。只要不接急件，客户自然知道不必来麻烦。会来找的客户，必定自己知道该给充裕的时间。

CRIADOR(A) DO TÓPICO | 不过挣老外钱是一回事，捍卫人格和国格是不能变的 | Mar 7, 2008 |
前几天认识个土耳其公司的BOSS，他问我在哪个城市，他似乎知道广东几个城市。我说我在上海旁边的一个城市，他显然知道上海，我说我在南京，上海边上一个省会城市，中国东部。我以为老外大多数知道南京大屠杀，因为张纯如那本书似乎挺有名。然后我就大致说了下“南京大屠杀”，那个土耳其老外说是不是天安门事件啊，又说南京大屠杀的肇事者是不是我们伟大毛领袖？
那个时候已经半夜2点了，听了老外的话，笑得从椅子上摔下来。我然后赶快和他解释。
我没有任何党籍，但是对外大家都是中国人，应该注意一下国际形象。今天一个老外有个证明我要USD 30，500个字不到，然后说我太贵了。那我想你该找谁找谁去，真以为中国人MADE IN CHINA就那么不值钱啊。我给葡萄牙公司做个葡中名片20个字都没有10分钟还USD 30呢。
中国现在对外开放越来越大，和美国交流越来越多，我听一个国内翻译公司说过，有个美国公司在美国找到他们公司合作，各位知道这个美国公司给多少钱吗“源语计算，千字人民币100”，这是美国本土公司跨洲跨洋和中国人合作哦，太恶心了。

一、调整生物钟。
二、有人24小时开着电脑，看他的MSN不论我早起还是晚睡，总挂在线上判断出来，但也仅限于接收信息，人是不在。另外是手机接收MSN邮件？其实，吵醒后，好梦还能继续嘛，尤其不适用于神经衰弱人士。

世界上本来就没有那么多急件。
