Dear NSA, the only bodies buried in the backyard are cats. I swear!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lee! I will be in the Bay Area for 24 hours, just about, so no way to do anything fun. (If I had been booking my own travel, I could have extended it!) I still can't decide if the cab option is worth is, because I need to be in Palo Alto an hour and a half after we land, and doesn't getting a rental car just take forever?

Timelies all!
Now that it's May, the weather is taking a turn for the summer. 80s all this week.

Man, now I need to figure out a Tumblr Theme and make an icon. And I'm terrible at that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Got the hardcopy of my performance review. Pretty glowing, which is nice. Tomorrow I find out what that means raise-wise (last year I got the maximum raise but that was only 3% and I know the company is not flush with cash this year, but anything would be good).

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jesse, it shouldn't, especially if your co-worker belongs to one of the frequent renter programs. It seems like you're cutting it close regardless--what if your flight is delayed?
meara and brenda (and anyone else who wants to chime in), what luggage are you using these days? My rollaboard has finally given up the ghost, and I need to replace it. Depending on the length of the trip, I both carry it on and check it. I'm thinking about going with Briggs & Riley for the fantastic warranty, but I'm on the fence about buying a $469 22" roller bag. I travel about 50-60,000 air miles a year, and a decent amount by car.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Jesse, clearly you just need to come out here on vacation.

Maria, at the moment I'm using a Travelpro I got at TJ Maxx or Marshalls, in conjunction with a Baggalini as my personal item (this one which was $40 there). It's not great, but honestly I kind of figure that I'd rather buy 3-4 $50 bags than a $400 one? I rarely check it so it's not really getting all that beat up, and I don't have particularly high requirements for what it's like (it has an outside pocket zipper, which I can fit my laptop into, but isn't meant for that, otherwise it's just a basic box). I'm much more picky about the shoulder bag (which until recently was a backpack)
