swestrup | Spinning like a top, popping like a cork.

For those of you who haven't been privileged to read my friends-locked posts on the matter, its looking increasingly likely that I'll be doing contract work for a major silicon-valley corporation in silicon valley for (at least) a few months. So, I spent most of 'yesterday' doing research on the very many logistical questions involved in such an enterprise. There is a huge amount of paperwork involved in doing consulting for a major American corporation, most of which makes assumptions about you being an American. So, I've been trying to find out how to fill in the paperwork if you're a Canadian.

In addition, suddenly relocating to an unfamiliar city in another country involves all sorts of logistical questions as well. Like, where I'm going to stay, and what kind of lodging is it possible to afford in the heart of silicon valley, how much will it cost to eat, where will I shop, how will I get around without a car, etc, etc.

Meanwhile I'm getting my hours rotated around as I've been waking up later and later in the afternoon these days and it seems time I did something about that. So, I stayed up until noon 'yesterday' and slept for 12 hours to wake up just a few minutes ago. With a bit of luck I shall stay awake until around 8:00 pm tonight and will then be much closer to being synced onto some sort of 9 to 5 schedule for a bit.
