The 1000th Post

Sep 12, 2017 17:41
Today the number of my posts on Lang-8 finally reached 1000.

Since I tend to slack off or goof off my work, it was really hard for me to continue writing articles every day.

Also, today I was received a letter of appointment -- it means that I officially promoted to assistant professor on September 1, 2017.

Incidentally, the day, September 1, 2017 was my 30th birthday.

Furthermore, on that day, the domain of my personal homepage expired.

The day was an unusual day when various events overlapped.

Next, I will do my best to post 2000 entries and become an associate professor.
1000回目の投稿

今日、ついに投稿数が1000に達しました。

サボりグセのある私にとって、毎日欠かさず何か記事を書くのはとても大変でした。

そして今日は、辞令交付式もあり、2017年9月1日付けで、正式に助教に昇進しました。

ちなみに、2017年9月1日は、私の30歳の誕生日でもあります。

さらにこの日は、私の個人ホームページのドメインが失効した日でもあります。

色々なことが重なる、珍しい日となりました。

次は、投稿数2000、そして准教授を目指して頑張ります。

    Your original is okay with a challenge at your addition of "goof off."

    "Goof off" doesn't quite fit there.

    I made a goof.
    Sometimes I am a goof.

    I was goofing off at work

    When I goof off at work I end up slacking off my work.

  • Incidentally, the day, September 1, 2017 was my 30th birthday.
  • Incidentally, that day, September 1, 2017, was my 30th birthday.

    "The day" doesn't work here.


    "That day" works (don't forget the comma after 2017) but the sentence has a bit too much... decoration.


    Incidentally, that (day) was my 30th birthday.
    Incidentally, September 1, 2017 was my 30th birthday.


    Congratulations on both the promotion and birthday!

    Your sentence is fine as is.

    Furthermore, my personal homepage domain that day.


    Just curious, what was it? Are you abandoning you homepage?

    Your original is fine. Korky's suggestion also works.

  • Next, I will do my best to become an associate professor and (also) post 2000 entries.

    As written, it could be interpreted that if you post 2000 entries you would become an associate professor. Don't you wish? ;o)

Thank you so much always for kindly correcting me! (^^)

> Just curious, what was it? Are you abandoning you homepage?
Since I can't buy the previous domain again for a while, I bought a new domain and transferred my homepage data there (temporarily). About a month later, I will try to buy my previous favorite domain.

> As written, it could be interpreted that if you post 2000 entries, you would become an associate professor. Don't you wish? ;o)
Oh, I see. Of course, there is no correlation between becoming an associate proferssor and posting 2000 entries, haha.

なにしろ毎日こつこつと積み上げていくことがいかに大変か。
ひとつひとうが形になっていくことを示してくれました。ありがとうございます。

私もさぼりグセがあるのですが、Lang-8だけはどういうわけか続けることができています。素敵なリアクションをもらえることの嬉しさや、交流の楽しさが、継続のモチベーションになっているように感じております :)
