and life has become much busier…
nn
I'm moving in 7 days into a bigger house, big enough for the three of us. Pretty much everything's ready, except of course I've forgotten where the U-Haul depot is… I should try and mapquest that before it's the last moment!
nn
I'm taking that whole week off, and I had grandiose ideas about packing and cleaning and cleaning and whatnot, and it's looking like it's not going to work out like that.
nn
I've picked up a bit of extra work just … well, just today actually… It pays EXTREMELY well, almost embarrassingly so, and it has the potential to use up most of my spare time for the next 3 months. It's been a bit of a tense time though, because it's technically a part time contract, and I've been trying to make sure it wouldn't be some kind of nasty conflict of interests. One of my ex-coworkers (a damn smart man in his own right) suggested strongly that I get approval in writing from the company I work for, and it looks like I'll have that in hand sometime tomorrow, thanks to a wonderful co-worker who's going the extra mile for me.

It's going to be a damn busy time, I'm potentially committing myself to 60 hour work weeks, and that's nothing to take lightly! The money would be awesome, but I have to be careful not to burn out, I can't help anyone if I'm too sick to go on. I'll have to see how it goes. It's strange how it's all come together though.. when I think back over the years, it's been a long road to get to this point, where people are asking ME to do work for them… I mean hell, I can't remember a time it was so smooth getting hired to do ANYTHING.
nn
Regardless, it won't change the fact I'm going to work damned hard. I'd already started studying the technologies they are using before they offered a contract, just to make sure I was up to speed from the start. I figured that even if this job fell through, all knowledge is useful somewhere. This of course is going to mean I'll have to get my passport now, in case I need to take a plane ride down there, as I'm sure I will need to at least once over the next year…
nn
Yeah, I know, I'm not mentioning details.. life's just like that, and though the NDA I signed doesn't forbid me from mentioning the roughest basics of who and what, I think I'd rather keep it under my hat until after launch.
nn
Off that topic for a bit, I'm still waiting for immigration news, it shouldn't be long before we hear something back.. personally I expect to hear by friday…. not that it makes the wait any easier!!
nn
It's looking like we'll be ready for the first week of february, which is pretty bloody soon, and yet no where near soon enough.. I'm just impatient I guess, but it HAS been 20 months, so I feel justified!
nn
Anyhow, I'm gonna scoot, I've got an application installer waiting for me *shudders*
nn
More later.
nn
No, I'm serious!
nn
I'll write later, I mean it!
nn
*LAUGHING*
