Sleep comes with difficulty...

Bleah! Thoughts of various idiocy has kept me from sleeping for the past hour. This includes:

Personal address changes, to an address either here or in Texas

Translation/interpretation business address changes, most likely to Texas

The ATA's "Continuing Education" program (aka "Boosting Conference Attendance" program, as writing a book on translation nets you only 4 points towards 20; attending a conference nets you 10 points and does not require actual attendance at any session!). The next campaign is likely to keep me away from New Orleans for the next conference.

Making sure we shut down various utilities/services for the store (phone, electricity, postage meter).

Making sure to apply to the USPS to get back the letter of credit that guarantees our postal accountability. The LOC is collateralized by a CD, which we can't touch until we get the LOC back from Denver.

All for now.

Cheers...

Up and <yawn> at em!

It turns out Galina couldn't sleep either, which was bad news for me, as the way she deals with insomnia is to do things that make noise, like wash dishes and watch TV. And although I can generally fall asleep in any environment, I probably got only another 20 minutes of snooze time between the time of my last post and 7 am, when I decided to get up and chase a little recent paper.

It turns out that, if I average my August billings over July and August (recall I was in Kazakhstan for all of July), these turn out to be the best two months of 2006.

Except the cash flow picture is really dismal over the next couple of weeks.

Cheers...
