Cue Toto

I started today without any real plans, and am just now getting a chance to type it all out.

I'm working on a freelance publishing catalog sale for a former client right now. Basically, I'm in charge of collecting all of the royalty information for the last five years and get it organized efficiently. The tough thing is there are two pieces that are being sold together, and the owners of each side despise each other, leaving me to attempt my best Switzerland impression. Side A is telling me to give them and only them the data, and that they'll then share it with Side B, while Side B says they have rights to the data at the same time as Side A. And the crappy thing about it all is that Side B is totally in the right, and the sale will be under undue peril if I don't go with them, which sucks for both sides. I'm gonna have to do some creative processing to make this all go smoothly...

...Which makes it the perfect time for me to leave the country! I am going to South Africa with my church on Tuesday! I've been waiting for my passport to come through, and got confirmation tonight that it's processed and in the mail! Sooooo exciting! And one nice thing about the place we're staying is they have internet access, so I can blog about everything while I'm there. Also, the team has a blog (click here).
There aren't any posts yet, but each team member is encouraged to post at least once during the trip, so there should be consistent updates over the coming weeks.

Additionally, I now have a work e-mail address, business cards and a website in the works, and I made as much doing freelance today as I used to in a week.

Life rocks.
