Keeping your dad in my thoughts, Maria!

I'm jealous of all the people getting to travel to exotic places for work (although I think I'd get tired of work travel pretty quick)!

Lisah, I think I'm the counterbalance - traveling to SLC is anything but exotic.

So far I've had one person bail on our meeting and rescheduled for later today when I'd been hoping I could have an early night (aka leave after 8 hours).

Tomorrow it is back to back to back meetings, not just with the task managers, but also with their boss and his boss sitting in on all the meetings. Wheeee?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, man, there's a lot more insanity in the world than I remember. Remind me not to go back out there. When do I get to just be a full-time misanthrope and not have to deal with people? That's one of my constitutional rights, yes?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

When do I get to just be a full-time misanthrope and not have to deal with people?

Let me know when you find out.

Does Independence, Missouri count as exotic? Because that's where I'm headed to on Thursday. (As a GoH at a costuming convention.)

Maria, you and your family are in my thoughts.

Independence, MO is possibly more exotic than Woodlawn, MD which is where I usually get to go for work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are the symptoms of oatmeal poisoning?

Scottish accent.

Shit, I'm in an at risk group!

Maria, I hope it's as nothing as possible for your father.

And Sue, I don't even know...

My "Wait, Did I Know That?" fact of the day: Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar, and therefore its employees technically are considered government officials under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Wow, so no bribing Al Jazeera employees, eh?

Um, I'm going to...uh....Portland and LA and Detroit and Connecticut the next two weeks? I'm excited about CT because I get to see Sowilo. The others would be ok except I'll be there less than 24 hours generally.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Does Independence, Missouri count as exotic?

Not in the slightest.
