Sorry it has to be a choice thing

Enh. Choice is actually a total privilege and it's NICE to get to make the choice. Sad that choosing means no vacation this year.

Maybe instead we'll try to stay in the Bay Area for an extended time and (like 4 days) and hike and visit?

Timelies all!

Meh. My wrist hurts. Maybe I slept on it wrong.

Cash, derby!! My derby name would have been Harpoon Lee but I couldn't make the time commitment. Also can't skate. I have a lot of derby friends if you have any questions, though!

Good morning everyone. Happy belated birthday, juliana!

Sorry to hear about canceling the Seattle trip, Kat. I made a similar choice this summer--teaching summer school vs getting a nice vacation. Oh well. Like you, I felt I was lucky to get the opportunity to earn more money in this economy, and we needed it since one of DH's bosses ran out of funding and hasn't been able to pay him for the past few months' work. ::grumble::rassen frassen grant money::

Hey Kat, I have some of clothes for you. Isaac had another growth spurt, plus I'm culling more of the 4Ts from Franny's closet.

Maybe instead we'll try to stay in the Bay Area for an extended time and (like 4 days) and hike and visit?

Yes!!!

J is in surgery. First her neck, then her wrist.

Good vibes for J, SuziQ.

Good luck to J.

Oh, I hope that goes as well as possible, Suzi.

That's a lovely necklace, Kat. The only thing holding me off is the asymmetry. Which is a lame reason, but any reason not to buy more jewelry is a good one.

My weekend work is not going well. The migration that was started yesterday is still running, which means we're way past all our time estimates today. FUCK. Kinda good thing I didn't go out on a limb and make plans for a tentatively open afternoon, but I still wanted to be able to look away from the work laptop. I'm not sure how one bills "on call" contract-wise. Boss will be startled.

Good-outcome~ma to J, SuziQ.

... And also in a more binary manner for ita, it sounds like.
