My last two posts started out long and involved, but never got off the ground for technical reasons (yay emacs). And I have other big ones bubbling up inside me: Bush’s state of the union, and thoughts on it, the politics of economics, an update on the community thing, a detailed summary of gg&s, and an example of the sort of conflict I felt while reading it, over the moral/ethical ramifications v the practical/rational consequences, as applied to veganism.
Yet, for this, I must budget time for lj. Which hasn’t happened much lately. I missed like a week of potentially interesting friendslisty things. Probably a symptom of the deficit I’ve been feeling in my internal maintenance budgeting of time. Soon, soon, soon…
Need to learn to say “No, I’m not giving you time.” without offering excuses, or feeling guilty about it to good peoples. There are a surplus of them in my life.
Oh yeah, and Ro is going to lobby for an extension to my hours (3/4 time) and a raise for me. Probably something about making some math work out in exactly the desired fashion. <pats self on back>
So, the NM trip may or may not happen, but it looks like before that goes down, I will be taking a trip out to arcosanti and working for a bit out there. Curious, yet anxious. Exploration of what it is that I want. Also, hopefully cute friend of Ro’s will join us there. Hmmmm…. =)
More me time soon.
i hate to sound like, you know, a mother or something, but if you’re having budget issues i hope you’re not paying for a trip to MN when the money could better be spent on credit card bills and/or rent.
sorry … i am going to to go exorcise the evil CPA ghost from me now (damn having a tax accountant for a father!).
ps – i still need to get you your dishes back.
I appreciate the concern 😉
Boeing’s covering the ambiguously scheduled “kickoff meeting” travel and hotel arrangements.
The arcosanti trip would be driving to AZ, probably around 800 miles. (1 long day on the road each way. about 30mile/gallon => 27 gallons, 108ish bucks round trip, + 10/night to stay at arcosanti (meals apparently included). Not exactly sure how expense sharing would work on this, But even split down the middle I’d be looking at a little over 100, with most meals taken care of. A pricy week, yeah, but not unaffordable.
I should have another little gaming thing at my place. =)
