Are these Citi Reward Points that expire? I thought they built up indefinitely.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently not -- you have to use some every year, I think.

I made a reservation at a hotel in the Ballsbridge area of Dublin because it's close to the office and I tried about five nicer hotels, and none had availability for when I would be there. I'll still poke around at some of the swankier places to see if anything opens up, though.
Are you doing the Guinness tour at the factory? I hear it's worthwhile, and it's right across from the prison where all the heroes of the Irish rebellion were executed (also a good tour).

And free beer at the end. But, even better, an amazing 360 degree view of Dublin.

I can highly recommend the Jameson's tour. Because, whiskey!

Oooh, which one was it, Shrift? I've stayed at Ariel House a couple of times and really like it. It's a small inn type of place, but nice rooms and a good breakfast.
I'm booked at the Grand Canal as a safety, but Ariel House is in my budget and has availability, so maybe I will change my reservation.
Are you doing the Guinness tour at the factory?
Ha ha ha, I have made zero fun plans yet. I need to get my paperwork sorted and start scheduling work meetings before I can focus on tourist stuff I want to do.
But y'all should continue making suggestions so I can make note.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel kinda guilty about how pleased I am that the spooks are listening to Alicia again on The Good Wife. They amuse the hell out of me.
OTOH, I am unrepentant in the joy I take in the phrase "Janice in Accounting doesn't give a fuck". I'm gonna have to watch myself not to bust that out somewhere inappropriate. Fortunately, our accounting department does not, so far as I know, have a Janice but still.

They expire? Huh. Maybe that explains why I don't have more of them?
I have to look at my trips for the rest of the year and figure out if I need to squeeze one more in to make the required status miles--I think I might be like 200 miles short, so I need to do the math.

not your mom's socks.
Someone tell me I can get through the next week and a half without my head exploding? I'd really like that.

The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin [link] is excellent. It also had (in 2011) a good place to eat inside and I got to watch a tourist fall full-body into the ornamental water feature.
