I might have to post during happy hour only if CEO starts charging us $300 a day.Cam Nivag wrote:Oh, I thought you were doing all the excellent translations of Khmer news articles for CEO. Maybe another translator is doing that.
If, however, you are doing those translations, and not being paid, then I don't know why you and other posters demonize Raffles for exploiting you by only paying you $30 a month. At least it's more than zero.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

Aren't you?
Re: A fond farewell(ish).
@Cam Nivag, i have no time to do translation for CEO, as beside from my normal job, i am a freelance translator. I have things to do. Actually i have never wanted to tell people here i am a freelance translator, because i don't want them to feel that i am sticking around here to get to know people for business benefit.Cam Nivag wrote:Oh, I thought you were doing all the excellent translations of Khmer news articles for CEO.

Oh, sorry, Samouth, you may have misunderstood me. I was just commending you for the translations of Khmer news articles you do for CEOCambodiaNews. They are always fast and very informative and you deserve credit for them. I know that you used to post excellent article translations in the newsworthy section under the name Samouth until early this year. Then when you stopped doing that, CEOCambodiaNews began posting excellent news article translations with the same format and same quality that we have always appreciated from you.Samouth wrote: @Cam Nivag, i have no time to do translation for CEO, as beside from my normal job, i am a freelance translator.
There are only a few errors in the CEOCambodiaNews translations from time to time, for example missing articles like "a" and "the," and often the translations will say "the suspect names John Smith" instead of "the suspect named John Smith." You sometimes make those mistakes in your regular postings as Samouth too, but your English is excellent overall of course.
I don't think there is anything wrong with using this website for a business benefit if you were inclined to do that. Four months ago you posted your translator CV in a post called Job Needed, that's not inappropriate at all.Samouth wrote:Actually i have never wanted to tell people here i am a freelance translator, because i don't want them to feel that i am sticking around here to get to know people for business benefit.
I tend to point out hypocrisy where I see it, like my criticism of the K440 people who were all making imaginary feel-good pledges to help Singlet Senior. My point here is that most of the CEO posters condemned Raffles for exploiting you by paying you a below market rate as a waiter, yet you're doing a lot of hard work translating articles for them, and according to you it's without compensation. To me, that's inconsistent and hypocritical and exploitative on their part.

Christ on a stick, he doesn't do the translations for CEO.
Rama's been doing free translations for K440, and even us before. It's a hobby for him, he's said it again and again. Makes sense to me. I've never made a single penny from CEO, and the fact that we've made no attempt whatsoever to use Google Adsense should make it pretty obvious that I don't give a fuck about making money through this site. Sure, I'll probably eventually lift a finger to get some paid banners, but it's always been probably the last thing on my to-do list.
Hell, even you've written articles for free, I assume it's because you think it's a hobby, no? Using your logic, me, Rama nor yourself could ever complain about a job position that paid too little because we've all done "work" for free.

Well, that seems harsh. Three weeks ago you were lavishing praise on me for criticizing the fake pledgers on the other site. You even started a new thread A good lawyer - who would thunk it?. If I criticize anyone on the other site you love it, but if I question anything here, I'm a snide bitch?
