And On the 7th Day ...

first of all, thank you to all of you who actually missed me and sent me emails and comments.  you really like me!  you really really like me!  (or else you are just coveting my stash..hmmm).

i've been super busy at work.  we are hosting a big ass medical record abstraction training in both boston and fremont, CA, that i've been responsible for organizing.  so first of all, i hate planning anything, especially when it requires coordinating with PEOPLE WHO NEVER TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN A FRIGGIN' TIMELY FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  this has in fact been worse than planning my own wedding, except that the money isn't mine so the worry has been minimal there.  i think i would actually like my job IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORK WITH PEOPLE...  i'm really beginning to not like people.  well, people at work.  and people who honk their horns.  and people who voted for george bush and are still supporting him...  ok i'll stop now.

so since all of the big mucky mucks were vacationing (and didn't seem too concerned about the project falling apart without them) and i received an email from human resources saying "hey you have 30,000 vacation hours saved up, if you don't take time off you will stop accruing, you don't get any brownie points from the mucky mucks for not taking vacation because remember they don't see you sitting at your desk like a damn fool because --duh--they're on vacation" j and i decided to take a last minute road trip.

first leg of the trip -- manasquan, new jersey.
