I suspect that some higher up had knowledge of what was going to happen, and they're not getting fired so that won't come out.

Or the suspension is being done now and they'll be fired over the summer, with a minimum of paperwork done right now. Right now everyone is busy with end-of-year crap. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's what's going on.

Or their contracts won't be renewed if it is a private school.

YES! I am going to Vegas, but not for four more weeks.

Jealous!

I'm going on saturday!

I would say ditto on the jealous thing, but I will be in Seattle, with Plei and Jilli and Pete and Cass and Beverly, so I won't.

Allyson, purple hair always counts.

Hec, I'm going to have a look over those links in a second.

Steph, here are the dresses: [link] and [link]

I know yahoo can be cranky about URLs, so I hope those work.

In my head I prefer white shoes with both dresses (and have another lime green gogo dress (thanks, meara) I'd wear them with too) despite there being rumours that white shoes are the footwear of the devil.

Tommy, was your suggestion wishful thinking, or advice?

I was already thinking about Vegas on my way to work this morning. So ready to be there.

So ready to be there.

I seriously need to go soon. It's been almost a year.

Man, I wish I were in Vegas. My sister lives there now, and I still haven't met her fiance yet. Also, the woman who was my best friend in high school is there, and I lost contact with her about 10-12 years ago but really want to talk to her again. I only have her brother's work addy (he's a real estate agent), but I was thinking about sending him an e-mail and seeing if he could forward my contact info to his sister and leave it up to her to see if she wants to talk to me or no.

Either.

I mean, I can picture someone wearing stilettos and a mod dress, but I'm not completely confident it'd work....

I've never properly been to Vegas. If I take a short break (no time off coming soon), it's either there or Ojai. So far. Haven't thought much.

I *love* those Paco Rabanne shoes. They take my strappish ballet flat fixation to a new place.

Know what's been stupidly hard to find (I should perhaps be in the kids section, I've been told)? Lacy ankle socks. Even Sock Dreams where I was getting a bunch of other (stocking) stuff didn't have them in stock in white. How rude! Now I need to shop in another location.

Lunch did not make me feel any better. Currently the signals being transmitted to my brain from various parts of my body are failing error checking. Irritation.

Lee! Which Vornado do you have? How much room does it service?

Errr. A black one.

I'll get you the specs tonight, when I have them.

I love it though.

Vegas in September, maybe?
