The Giant Schedule of Doom...so far.

Jeez, that's nearly two months! I don't know how you do it. It seems like you're gone more than you're here/home anymore - that makes me sad.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I am really starting to cringe at this year's absences. I think I'll be gone 118 days of the first six months. Wah!

It makes me sad too. I love LJ, and I am a big homebody, and I'm starting to wonder about how much I'm gone...

April 27-28 Some tiny town in WA

Which tiny town?

May 13 WI
May 14 HOME

Oh, sweet Jesus. You're certainly a masochist, aren't you?

Which tiny town?

Argh! You would have to ask me that. My mind is like a sieve, seriously.

Let me think. It had some weird name that made me think of Hawaii...hmm...Oh yes! Aloha! or Hillsboro or something.

Oh, sweet Jesus. You're certainly a masochist, aren't you?

Even better, I return home for only five days after PR...and then I leave for another three weeks. No lie.

After that, I go home and lie down on the couch with the cuttle blanket.

I'm exhausted just looking at it!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

haha! Yeah, me too. The phone calls are the worst, honestly. Trying to set up appointments...some people just NEVER call you back and are NEVER at their store. Ugh.

My personal record is 17 phone calls before actually speaking to the owner.

Which tiny town in WA?

While you're in the Seattle area, will there be enough breathing room in your schedule for getting together for dinner or at least a hug and a cuppa? :-)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I finally figured it out...it's Aloha/Hillsboro or something like that.

I would love to see you for dinner! I really do think I can fit it in. *hugs* It would be awesome to hang out again. I felt like an overactive bumblebee in Lumos, honestly, and it will be nice just to sit still and have a real conversation!

[sylvadin.livejournal.com]

FYI - Hillsboro and Aloha are on the outskirts of Portland...Oregon, not Washington. ;-)

aigh!!!

*changes schedule of doom*

Thanks for pointing that out!

[kaiz.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's an incredibly intense schedule! Giant Sales Schedule, indeed! *boggles*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

It is crazy, isn't it? I did it last year, though in about 37 days instead of 55, so I'll have a more relaxed pace...but still, I can't believe I'll be gone so long. wah!

At least I'll have a con to look forward to when I get home. hooray!

[ex-indykat261.livejournal.com]

Wha? No Indy this year? :(

[valis2.livejournal.com]

:( Sorry, not this time! I just couldn't get it together. The Indy show last year just wasn't enough to justify returning, unfortunately.

Doood, my temp job will be done on the 17th, I could come up to SF on the 18th or 19th. Want to meet up for dinner or something?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd love that! It would be awesome!

Will email you my phone number, and as we get closer to the date we can finalize our plans. I'm staying with my friend blumsmile when I get there, and I have a couple of extra days...plus, most of my appointment stuff is done during the day, so I should have evenings free.

Hooray!!

[gmonkey42.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D

I think it's time you start whining and crying and begging your f'list to start chipping in for a laptop for you.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

bwahahhaaha!

I need an iPod, damnit! Oh, wait, I already have an mp3 player. Damn.

Two months with no LJ...no one will remember me when I return, except my otter friends.

(PS: I saw river otters playing at the park we went to in FL! I think I forgot to tell you. They were adorable!)

That's about 1.5 - 2 hours away from us. Do you need a place to stay/extra help/a laptop-n-LJ provider/someone to bother you that weekend? Andi's asking whether she's allowed to to take you out for seafood, particularly squid.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Ooooh!!!

That would be marvelous! Am emailing you.

April 20-21 -- we will have lunch, or dinner. Right?
