And the word of the day is...

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so that's two words. BUT, I just found out that we signed the contract for Vietnam which means that I'm going! WAHOO!! I e-mailed the project manager to see when he wants me to arrive and all that good stuff, so I have absolutely no details at the moment, but I am still SO excited! I think that it will make the most sense for me to leave and come back here, and I don't think it's going to extend my time away, but that sort of thing is, clearly, still undetermined.

I am totally doing a happy dance in my head. Because I'm at work, and it might garner a few strange looks were I to do it at my desk. I mean, I suppose that, as is the custom in my company, I shouldn't be convinced that I'm really going until I get on the plane, but at the moment, it looks like that's the case! This is just so great.

Work here is actually going well at the moment. I finally feel like I've hit my stride a little more, and I have a plan of action in my head, of sorts. I had a few meetings yesterday, I've got some reading and research to do today, and my "to do" lists that I make each morning are getting longer. But they're also getting done, so it's all good.

Since it's Saturday, we only work a half day, so I'm heading straight to the pool when we get out of here, then I'm going to see the tailor tonight - it was supposed to be last night, but there was a change of plans. I'm going to have a few more salwar kameez made, but I'm going to modify them slightly so I can wear them in Vietnam, too. Vietnamese women are, generally speaking, the size of my pinky, so finding clothes there would undoubtedly be a little tricky. Ah, the logistics of international travel. (Geez - could I sound any more pretentious? Sorry...)

That's my news - nothing terribly exciting going on in the 'stan, but no news is good news, right?
