A few weeks ago I was wondering what I would be doing in October, since I didn't have anything lined up. Well, surprise surprise -- a nice new project has come my way, thanks to one of my international clients. I'll be starting on it tomorrow. This has worked out very nicely, since I've just finished my work on the DoD proposal. I've also just sent another client the draft of the final report that I've been working on for them. I'll have a few more things to do on that report, and then I will be done with it.
My new project involves another international proposal, and I'll be spending a couple of weeks overseas -- in India -- working on it. It's been over a year since I've done any international traveling. For many years, I spent 30-50% of my time traveling overseas in conjunction with my international development work. I've worked in nearly 30 countries. But after spending so much time in airports and planes, coming down with various intestinal ailments, and my body trying to figure out what time it was, I got tired of it. It's certainly not as glamorous as it sounds and after a while it gets kind of old.
But this is only one trip, and since it's pretty short, I've agreed to do it. Plus, the assignment overall -- both here and in India -- will last from now to around December 1, although I won't be working full time for all of those days.
I'm now waiting to get more specifics from my client and will be attending a kickoff meeting at their office tomorrow. So it looks like October will be a good month, workwise.
