KOREA JOURNEY: Working with Korean Adoptees
KOREA JOURNEY: Working with Korean Adoptees: "As I sit here in my office on Saturday morning, free from loud and constant phone rings, co-workers yapping and gossiping, blackberry beepin..."

My First Ever Posting...?
I guess this will be my very first posting on this blog, but I'm afraid this isn't going to be anything fancy.
I just came back from 13 hour day work from the office, trying to finish up as much as I possibly can, with somethings I need to finish by tomorrow, no matter what. I've been working with this travel agency since last August, negotiating a deal, writing up a contract, and making arrangements for their hotel, air, and tours for total of 61 people, involving 3 different countries, including South Korea. So far, since last August, negotiation on price had been successful, contract was written up, signed, and I've collected a hefty amount of security deposit few months ago. Today, it was time to go over the details, make sure there aren't any embarrassing errors made, give reconfirmation on everything, and prepare the final invoice, which leaves collecting the final payment the last thing involved here, many would think. But this is merely a start, compare to what I need to prepare for during their travel period. Nevertheless, I'm glad I had stayed late, at least to do as much I can possible, so I won't have to do as much tomorrow.
What got me working harder than the usual today, was probably because I had received an email from the leader of this group I had made travel and tour arrangements for Korea last month, saying how thankful he was to me for making their trip so smooth and pleasant. I don't get to receive this kind of email as often as I would like to, because I only mostly handle American clients through travel agency clients of ours, but whenever I do, it really does make me feel like I'm giving 0.1% of good to the society, at least.
I would sit here and write more, because I want to, and can, but it's already 12:30am, and I have a very long day tomorrow-again. I guess this would become my first ever blogging...?
