Odds and Ends
-A month and a half and counting. Everyone who knows me, knows exactly why I'm anxiously awaiting June 1. What a glorious day that will be.
-Heading to Philly next weekend for the Penn Relays track meet. I'll be traveling with the HU teams, going to that meet since I won't be able to make the MEAC meet the following week. Everyone says I'll have a blast, and I know the Penn Relays is one of the biggest, most prestigious track meets in the country. Looking forward to it.
-May 2, NASCAR race at Richmond. You know I'm gonna be there.
-Grandma starts radiation in about two weeks. She'll go for five weeks, five days a week, getting small bursts. From what I understand, this method will effectively remove the tumor from her bone while not adversely affecting her in any way.
-I'm hoping to go to Dragon*Con, but that depends on what this Vice President-type person at HU says. I put in my leave for the dates surrounding D*C, which my boss, Maurice, approved. Send the form to Human Resources, only to find out anyone wanting time off around a holiday (like, for instance, Labor Day) needs to submit a letter to the VP in question describing why they need the time off. I suspect my letter will involve a fair amount of bullshitting, highlighting the writing workshops and professional avenues and hiding the more, umm, geeky parts of it. I hope they buy it; I wanna go and see everyone and I don't wanna be out 60 bucks.
-Note to self: next year, get the time off before buying the pass.
