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.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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.

Yeah, I got there -- it's just that someone else here was convinced the "status" was a person thing, not a location thing. I think I convinced her we're OK.
