mean you'll be in Monterey in October?

That's currently the plan. I'm not sure if I'll have a place to stay, but I think they bought the tickets on Friday.

We have a new travel office that we are forced to use that is of teh suck. I have, so far, researched all of my travel information five times, with significant changes each time because of time lapsed. Now, they have gotten my airline tickets (I think), and some tentative hotel reservations. However, the hotel that I had originally checked out no longer has space available for the whole stay. My backup hotel has space for most of the time, but currently I have to move out - and apparently sleep on the street- for one night in the middle. I spent two hours on Thursday evening researching alternate hotels and other info they needed. They did find one alternative, but they have no idea where it is other than that it's in the county. When I was looking up convenient hotels (from the closest to the conference center to about 3-4 miles away), it didn't show up on the list.

I think I already told you how they have a rule (I'm not sure about how new it is, but no one in my office knew about it) limitingpersonal leave connected to out-of-state travel to two days. I had already promised to visit a friend in Oregon in the fall. I was planning to spend time visiting family and localistas before heading to OR, but now I'm leaving the day after the conference.

WindSparrow - do you know of a similar post/thread for IBS in cats?

Have a wonderful time Jessica! Remember to takes lots of pictures so we can be even more jealous.

Libkitty, is your travel office responsible for anything besides making reservations? Jeesh! There are two people attending that conference from my library -- one of whom I really like, and one of whom holds the crown as my Least Favorite Person at Work. Remind me to let you know which one is which.

My status of my life at the moment: 258 words on an article that needs about 1000, and that's been the count for at least the last 30 minutes.

I will, however, get to see a play tonight with Conseula and Java Cat that the Chronicle has given a great review.

Sorry about the slow writing, Sparky, but so very jealous about the evening!

Re: the travel office, it is very unclear what they are supposed to be responsible for. As far as I can tell, the system is nearly universally despised.

Clearly, the internets are having serious issues. I would recommend blufr, except it cheated on the last two questions.

Here is a picture of me in a yarmulke: [link]

I did not know that image existed until just now, though it has been up on The Facebook for ages, probably.

Sorry! I was busy watching the cleaned-up version of Cruel Intentions. It's quite humorous.

I've been editing something for Pete.

Which, it seems, is how I deal with being an emotastic wimp about getting my own edits back today.

(It was either that or write porn, and I've done plenty of the latter, so edit it is!)
