In which I try to explain my travel needs. A few people have given me light-hearted shit about being able to ‘just take a week off and go to New York,’ like travel’s a non-essential behavior and I’m somehow lucky or greedy. Well, I’m not. Looked at from a certain angle, my life could easily […]
In which I ramble. Money Since I’m going to New York, I need money. Which is why I agreed to work on Sunday. It was quiet. Very quiet. And after the other guy left, it verged on creepy… being all alone in the Drumheller building made me glad I had Bindu with me. I watched […]
In which your intrepid narrator will be Out Of The Office. I’ve been telling everyone I’m going to New York for about four years. This year, I SWORE I’d get there NO MATTER WHAT… but then I changed jobs and thought, well, the job change was all for the good, but I bet I won’t […]
In which I’ll be in Vegas in twenty-four hours! I’m certain I’m over-packing because it’s in the 70’s here. It’ll be in the 90’s in Vegas; of course we’ll probably spend a lot of time indoors and that’ll be air-conditioned, but I brought pants and long-sleeved shirts and in spite of the sun dresses I […]
In which I get out of town for the weekend and it’s totally restorative. I had a great weekend. (It looked like this.) Kaje informs me that he’s making falafel pita for dinner and that we have some episodes of Doctor Who on tap. Life is good, peeps.
In which I take the longest bus ride EVAR. Woke up at K’s this morning. He may have tried to let me sleep in, but he tends to look at me while I’m sleeping [the utter weirdo] and the attention wakes me up. (At least he has the grace to make the coffee.) We lounged […]
In which I finally tell you all about GBM! I’m somewhat ashamed that I only blogged twice while I was actually traveling to a blogger meet-up, but there were the issues of laptop shortages, busyness, fatigue, and inebriation and I flickred and twittered like a demon so it’s not like there wasn’t some content. Let […]
In which I’m ramping up for GBM. As you know, I’m flying to DC over the weekend of St Pat’s for GBM. I’ve been trying to decide what to wear, which is problematic because all of my clothes are old and worn out and crappy, or they’re hand-me-downs that don’t really fit, or I’m just […]
In which time is not on my side. When I first decided to go to GBM, I checked kayak.com for flight prices. It was $408 round-trip, including taxes. I didn’t buy because first I had to submit my time off request at work. At the 6-week pre-travel mark the price for the very same flights […]
In which I spend most of the day in front of the computer. Today I woke up hungry at the ass-crack of dawn, but I stayed in bed until nine or so rockin’ out to tuneage on the beloved iPod. I made eggs and toast and coffee for breakfast when I finally got up. Then […]
