So we need to make hotel reservations in SF for our trip. (eta: June 30th to July 5th.) Are any Bayistas familiar with this hostel?
Some private rooms are sold out, but we can get one with a shared bath for $94 a night, which I'd be happy with. But we could probably find a cheaper hotel in SF--any thoughts?
We had planned on staying at the Fisherman's Wharf hostel, but private rooms are already sold out there.
I am unexpectedly home alone! And since I explicitly took today as a personal day and not work-from-home (since I thought I would have Aeryn here), I don't have to turn on my work laptop if I don't want to!
Dylan is at a potential new school for next year today - since they have a very progressive teaching model, they're asking all the first grade applicants to spend a trial day in the classroom to make sure it's a good fit. And I thought I would be keeping Aeryn home with me, but she begged to go to daycare and be with her friends, so I dropped her off too. (Which actually worked out great because it meant I could stay in the classroom and observe without having to worry about a noisy two year-old wanting to run around and touch things.)
It being April, I'm torn between wanting to veg on the couch and CLEAN ALL THE THINGS.
Still waiting. Still anxious.
tommyrot, I don't know anything about hostels or hotels in SF, and your visit dates are too far off in the future for me to make plans, but I would love to see you while you are out west!
Hooray for a personal day on your own, Jess!
Go msbelle, be your awesome self! Stop getting her down, world and esp. turds@work.
Eta: continuing Gud~ma
Still waiting. Still anxious.
Ugh. Hang in there!

Cool. I'd love to see you too!
Yay, don't turn on the work laptop!
I think you could totally alternate between veg & ALL and have a pretty good solo day.
I need to kick some productivity ass today. The spring cleaning is going pretty well, but I really need to get some shit knocked out today.
Good luck, Gud!
Tommyrot, the location of that place looks fine: very convenient to transit and plenty of touristy things to do. I don't know anything about it as a hostel, per se.
Me, I had drinks with another former coworker, who gave me some good data on one of the firms I'm talking to (unexpected layoffs followed by hiring is not a good sign of an ability to manage capacity), and was just nice to catch up. Noontime chat today with a friend at the just-referenced firm. Lunch tomorrow with another friend who works for the city. Oy, I'm exhausted.
Tommy, last year I stayed at the Carl. It has virtually no amenities, but it's clean, it's cheap, it's just off the Muni N Judah line, which I took a lot.
Just make sure you don't try to get around town on the day of the Bay to Breakers "race".
You're doing great, Suela. Keep at it.
