Novel

I'm taking on a rather large responsibility behind-the-scenes for a new business venture I've become involved in. (I suppose I could use recognizable buzzwords like "payment processing" and "virtual terminal," but they probably wouldn't mean all that much to most of the people who read this.) This, despite the fact that I've never done anything of this sort before, and I'm almost completely unprepared for it. But why should that stand in my way? I always enjoy the opportunity to learn something new, and I appreciate a technical challenge — particularly one that shouldn't require too much more than reading up and familiarizing myself with the details. I'm flushed with foolish confidence, anxious to begin.

It will require a clear head and time to study those details, though, both of which have been in limited supply. We'll see what the day brings.
