Time Zones for Fun and Profit Once there was this girl who had nothing to do except surf the net for a job, go to ethnic grocery stores and play with her friendly, affectionate cat. Some people asked, "Hey, want to freelance for us someday?" and she said, "Sure," figuring someday meant today, tomorrow, maybe a week from now or maybe never. She did NOT figure that days, weeks or months later, all of the people she had said "Sure" to over the previous three months would take her up on it during the exact same week.

She finally had to play the clients' time difference off one another, getting up extra early and working extra late so as to get more than one work day out of each normal day.

So really, this entry is mostly about time zones for profit. But there is a fun part, which is filling in all those billable hours on a spreadsheet and having them multiply into dollar amounts through the magic of Excel. Cayman tax shelter, here I come!
