Preparing for the Future

Slowly re-adjusting to things like "Pacific Time" and "actually seeing the sun". Who knew the world could be lit up so brightly?

Now that I'm once again on furlough, I finally have time to turn to some business-related projects that were languishing while in Melbourne and Manila. Sixteen-hour days were the norm in Melbourne. Apart from jotting out a few thoughts on this page every now and again, I didn't have time for much else but a stress-relieving beer at the end of the night and some sleep. The days were a bit easier in Manila (only twelve hours) but by then I was so close to being home I just pushed things off.

I love what I do right now, of course, but that doesn't mean I'm not out there looking for interesting opportunities.

I see that people are planning various social activities over the summer, all of which conflict with the World Series of Poker. It's unclear what's going to happen with the WSOP this summer in terms of coverage. Most likely PokerNews will not be the exclusive live update provider that it was for each of the previous two years. Whether that means I'll be able to attend the social outings or will be covering the WSOP in some other manner remains to be seen.

Right now it's time to get to work.
