I danced, sat in my hotel room a bit, and then went dancing some more. Flirted with some super pretty gay boys. Well, one was maybe bi? And now on a bus back to the hotel. I'm hungry but I don't think anything near the hotel will be open. And I need to figure out where I'm supposed to pick up my rental car first thing in the morning. Which is going to hurt, since I only had 5 hours of sleep last night, and will get max six tonight?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds fun, meara! Up until the lack of sleep, "first thing in the morning" part!

I have never been so glad to see my boss, back in the office after three weeks.

Oh no, Strix! I hope your Cosmo gets home soon.

Thinking of you, Strix. I've had too much cat-involved trauma this week.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Come home, Cosmo!

Catching up my boss on stuff is hilarious. It's been a very eventful few weeks! "When I came in, there were crumbs on my desk!" "Oh yeah.... after the flood, a few people were camping in here for a couple of days." "The flood??"

Keeping my fingers crossed for Cosmo's safe return!

Sounds like a very eventful week, Jesse!

In good news, no work drama so far today (other than dealing with someone who is a bit of a drama queen, but there hasn't been anything ACTUALLY bad so I can just roll my eyes).

But OMG I'm irked at one of the dudes I shared a room with this weekend at the convention. I needed a place to stay (I'd planned to get a room for me and my friend Kate, but the convention rate was sold out), and was told "oh, Ben has a reservation and needs roommates!" OK, so I talk to Ben, he says yes, they have the room Thurs-Mon at the convention rate and yes she and I could have the other bed and this other dude Chris was sharing with Ben.

Turns out Chris was only staying Fri/Sat nights. And both Kate and Ben weren't staying Sunday night--only I did. But I didn't know that, or I would've tried to arrange something else. We each paid one night worth, on Sunday. And suddenly today Chris is texting me all "I shouldn't have to pay for the extra nights, you owe me $40!" And I'm like, if he had discussed this beforehand, or even on Sunday, I might've been more sympathetic, but now?? Ugh. I pointed out to him that Ben had the reservation, and I didn't arrange anything with Chris, but oy! If I'd been told beforehand I would have found other accommodations Sunday, and probably would've been fine splitting the room for Thursday three ways but now I'm jut annoyed at him.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Come home, Cosmo!
