I atent dead

[ritaxis]

But it feels like it sometimes. Apparently the plan for the length of my coworker's maternity leave is to operate in crisis mode, which means I work overtime for six weeks, and this is not okay, but it's apparently my life for now. It means that while I open lj, I don't end up reading and I'm behind in the news, and in the lives of you folks I've become somehow close to in this weird distal way.

I have only trivial news about me and mine -- but I do have a livingroom! I have shoveled out the stuff that we piled into it during the endless library project and we have even sat around with Moher and watched TV and stuff.

Other than that, well, there's some bicycle politics happening, but I'll report on that when I can breathe.

Any chance you'll be making it to Bay Con? It was fun hanging out with you last year.

Bay Con! Yes, I think I'm coming. But Jules went away and I think I have to commute, which means probably only one or two days. I haven't even registered yet!

Do you have your plans worked out?

My plans are vague and exceptionally flexible. I may go for only one day ... or two ... unlikely three since I need some down time desperately. Which days? Haven't looked at a schedule and since I'd primarily be going just for hanging out and bumping into people, it hardly matters. Don't have a membership yet. But I definitely want to go for at least one full day, and I've found I have more fun when I have folks to hang with (and no particular agenda). So for some understanding of "worked out", those are my worked-out plans.

So . . . let's pick a day when we'll both pledge to be around. Then, we'll not worry about other days.

Either Saturday or Sunday, then. Mild preference for Saturday since it then gives me two consecutive unscheduled days, should I have a use for them.

Saturday it is!

Great -- reg opens at 9:30 and programming starts at 10:00, so that gives us a reasonable window and location to find each other. (Or, more explicitly, I'll meet you at registration sometime between 9:30 and 10:00.)
