Little Things
Mar. 16th, 2006 10:42 amUSENIX is after me to renew my membership to it and SAGE. I haven't attended a conference in years --my employer sees no value to them, even if I do-- and I've never received much value for either membership. I can't rationalize renewing but a sentimental attachment remains. And SAGE's next LISA convention is in DC...
Kent installed the new whiteboard in our computer room last night. While I'm pretty solid on projects at work, I tend to slack off a little at home. Having a place to list my to-do items & deadlines will help me track the little things around the house which sometimes slip through my fingers.
Our air fare to Portland & LA for June & July have been purchased. My credit cards were completely wiped out but now thanks to this trip and the May Seattle-Vancouver trip, they're above $2k again. At least there's money available in joint checking & savings to cover these, and 90% of our major summer travel is now pre-paid.
Friends Jim & Guy and their dog Coulter are moving from Arlington, VA, to Boise, Idaho, in early April now that Jim has accepted a new job there. We haven't been in regular contact since xmas thanks to our commitments and their travel, so the news has caught us off-guard. With a little luck, we'll at least have dinner with them next weekend to say our good-byes.
And I'm still open toshameless LJ comment whoring questions. Go ahead... ask me anything! :-)
