I’m off on an overnight trip to New York City to close out a long-running eval with a customer. Sleep may not be in the cards for me tonight in the worst-case scenario. I don’t expect any issues, though.

Wednesday morning I jet to DC to get my visa at the Chinese Embassy. In the days of the Internets, one would think one could do this without going in person. One would, of course, be wrong. To top it off, tomorrow is the first day after the Chinese New Year, so I should have plenty of company at the embassy. Yay.

Ah well, that’s the cost of doing business, isn’t it?
