it was a good day, this one

It's now 3:30am and I really shouldn't be bothering with this. But today was one of those nice, productive, fun, satisfying days and I thought I'd share it with you.

It started off with a presentation of our work to the head boss and the other administrators of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). While our Powerpoint slides weren't beautiful, at least they were interesting. The presentation went really well, they were really impressed with everything we'd done, and they finally realized that we were there for something (i.e. setting the foundation for a 500,000 euro study on exactly the program we're studying). They want statistics and reports ASAP, though we're not even going to finish the interviews before early January. It's just nice that they care.

The next big project was going to the SENA where we've been searching through archives for lists of people who went to Spain and with which company. Today, I finally dropped off database of 350 temporeros, and we should have all sorts of demographic data on them by next week.

Man ... I'm too sleepy. I'll try to finish in the morning.
