Surprise! You win!

Seems when my former employers failed to document my alleged misconduct, they failed to show that they had a reason to fire me. So I get my unemployment check, huzzah. Every little bit helps, as the song says.

Made the mail run to Chantilly, threw half of the box's contents away, hit the Walmart for bandages & fluids, and visited P, who was getting over an ugly case of food poisoning. We eventually went out for pho with RS, and she seemed to be doing better when I left. Arrangements were made for me to drop the Sportage off at Chez Seastrom so that I don't get hosed for parking at Dulles while I'm doing the Detour thing next week.

Speaking of which, since I'll be coming up on Wednesday, I'll have some time before the convention to spend with folks, if they have a mind to. Drop me a comment or an e-mail and we'll see what works; I'm thinking Wednesday night or Thursday ought to be good, since I'm not on staff and won't be doing anything until the convention starts Friday morning. Monday afternoon and early evening ought to be okay as well, unless I get dragged off to a dead-dog party. I'll be bringing my laptop and posting during the convention, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hit me up when you get into town and I'll give you your book back. :)

Bring it with you to Detour; that'll probably be the easiest thing.

You're not working registration again this year? WTF?
Anyway, Thursday night's fine with me; we'll swap e-mail about exactly where & when a bit later.

You might want to drop redmartel a line and ask him what's up.
He may have assumed that since you were on staff last year and were coming back this year, you'd be working registration again, but then again he's not prone to making assumptions. Ask him and be sure.

Give me a ring when you get in - I may be busy with con stuff (but what are the chances of that?) but if not we should grab dinner or something like that - there's a new little place down the street that has fantastic grilled pork spring rolls.

At this point your staff should be handling the last-minute disasters emergencies - have I taught you NOTHING? ;)
Srsly, yeah, we should definitely get together before all hell breaks loose. I'll give you a ring when I get into town - should I call the house or would your cell be better?

You can try the house, but I'd say cell first. Just in case I'm running around like a decapitated fowl.

*nods* Cell first, then home. I'll be doing an e-mail blast to my MN peeps informing them of my new/old 612 cell number; see phone post for explanation.
