We have big stuff happening the 4th and 5th, so the theory of being open this week is a good one.
It's the practice, where no one else is here to answer my questions, that sucks.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well I finished the big personal thing I need to do today and am making progress on my 101 list.
For work I have made progress on 4 work tickets and have semi-taught my boss and co-worker some stuff. I need to call a client, or maybe I can email them and get what I need.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Re: Chico - my perspective on it as a penniless grad student may not be entirely accurate, so that's the skew to correct for with my opinions.

Chico, from what I have heard from someone who went to CSU-Chico undergrad is that it's a very agricultural and definitely a party school.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Would the world seriously grind to a halt if we just took off from Christmas eve until after the New Year?
That's what I have this year, AIFG. Today, I am revelling in the fact that I don't have to go anywhere or do anything or talk to anyone. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping and a motorcycle ride (weather permitting).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is there anyone around who knows a lot about government expense lingo? I'm trying to confirm that "travel status" just means anyone who is away from their home base, not a status that needs to be assigned to specific people. If that makes any sense at all.

I work on a Federal contract, and typically "travel status" means you are either over 50 miles from home on a day trip or you have spent the night somewhere on a trip. There are also limitations on time of day and meals allowable. But "travel status" is more a matter of where you are than who you are.

Awesome. Thanks, Suzi! That's what I said, but I don't want to screw anyone by having us charge travel costs to federal contracts on people who aren't qualified or whatever.
