java, have you been to Barcelona before? If not, make sure you give yourself enough time to explore. We only had a day and a half, and it was. not. enough.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Nope, Fred I haven't! I'll be there Friday before my conference and the conference is from Monday - Wednesday. I do want to spend a lot of time sightseeing in Barcelona, so I probably won't make it to Paris this trip (I don't want to come back tired, I want to come back feeling rejuvenated). I fly back to SFO on Sunday the 4th, so that should be enough time to really see the city, yes?
When I go to my graduation ceremony in London in March, I think I'll make it a Paris and London trip. I love that Aerostar dealie.
Ha! ETA it's Eurostar, not Aerostar!

Barcelona is really cool. If you haven't seen it, I'd leave time for exploring. And that is the place for food these days.
That's right. I said it.

Woo -- that's going to be quite a trip.

This "work trip" is my company's thanks to me for working 14+ days every day of my first 1.5 years of employment with them. It's been pretty much normal hours since this February but before that...not so much. So this trip is presented to me as a big "thank you" and I really appreciate it. The conference is only 3 days but I am getting a real vacation out of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's really great -- there are plenty of people who work those hours and don't get jack!
(My lawyer cousin was just telling me she was in the office 300 hours in June. Of course, she gets a fat paycheck, but she was just doing what was expected...)

Absolutely. And though my work is demanding, it's generally enjoyable. I am thoroughly fortunate these days.

In short: I would like to go to Barcelona! I even know how to say it BarTHelona!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I can't believe we're here. It's raining ash. Half of my people are out due to being sick from the air or in evac zones.
I feel like I'm going to throw up from the stench.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yikes! Take care of yourself....
