OK, that sounds well worth it to me, given that the Samsonite store is more convenient than the luggage repair places I googled up.

I have been keeping all of our lights off due to brownout/blackout fears. I will not turn off the A/C though.

So they've implemented electric load reduction here at work. Whee?
Work remotely tomorrow. From Bob's awesome hospital room! Free consistent AC AND free wireless! And a nice view.

A Samsonite store might be even cheaper, I went back to the luggage store that I had purchased it from.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh god, today has kicked my ass to the point where I haven't had breakfast yet. And I have a meeting in fifteen minutes. And another at 5pm. And dinner with an out of town friend at 8. I am really not in love with the day, in any way. It's just...I'm glad I work with nice people. It could have been so much worse.

I now have 26 ebay auctions up. 7 are selling, hope that number goes up by bedtime. And yes, I still have more than 10 things to list.

I have six more minutes until vacation starts. Six very slow minutes.

Moo-oom, Calli is taunting us with vacation!
I'll be off my six month probationary period at work at the end of July. I am so looking forward to being able to take vacation days! Yay!

Has anyone done any of those "cash for gold" things? I was looking for something in my jewelry box and came upon a tangle of broken chains and stuff I don't wear any more. I don't really wear yellow gold anymore (used to a lot), so I won't bother repairing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My mom did, and she got quite a bit of cash for hers. I think she decided to go with a local jeweler instead of one of the online companies.
