Well crap. My road trip looks like it may not happen. My friend got fired from her job today. It was a bad situation, so long term it is a blessing in disguise, but until she has a new job it doesn't feel like a blessing, I'm sure. Her job was about as toxic as some of the jobs described here.
But that means she needs to hold on to her money until a new job is secured. CJ doesn't want to go with me and that is too much driving for me to do alone.
I could stay-cation but that doesn't hold much appeal. What to do, what to do.
Thanks for the ~ma everyone. Surgery went well I hear, but we are not out of the woods yet. The mass was huge, and it had already metastisized, so I don't know what that bodes for what happens next. Diagnosis is uncertain, but either melanoma or sarcoma. I'll be heading back to the hospital soon.
Rats may not be advisable for a vacation activity. It's more of a long weekend thing.
edit: And here's for minimal impact, mass wise.
Fingers strongly crossed, Burrell!
Oh Burrell, I'm glad it went well and I hope things continue to go in a smooth way.
Best case, best case, best case, rah rah rah!

It kills me that there's a PBS show in the style of Project Runway, but about winemakers. "You're going home. Please leave the vineyard."
So this weeks camp was about nocturnal creatures, and the kids were working with a local band (cello and trumpet) to write haikus about owls and then turn the poems into lyrics, and learned about music and composing (they were around 8 yo) and worked with the band to craft three haikus into a song. Man, I was expecting it to be some painful 4th grade kind of recorder recital, but it was actually adorable and really catchy and I wished I'd videotaped it so I could extract the audio. All the parents of the camp kids came to watch and half the staff as well (me and boss lady were hiding in our office being braindead from the heat up until then).
Met a really nice guy who was a candidate to be new boss dude. I have to say that I'm stoked that we're getting so many responses to the position. Choices are nice. And as much as I'm griping that I've not really been given the opportunity to say more than "hi!" to the candidates, it's actually more than I've been given in the past, which the past two times were "and here's your new boss, cya".

What is the name of this because I need to start watching this ASAP.
