We made an offer on the house we liked - $190K from an asking price of 194.5K. They accepted! Now of course we need to slog through attourney review and then inspections to make sure things are up to snuff, but we're on the road to somewhere ( Read more... )

Next week we're going househunting in the Bridgewater area - we'll probably have all of 2-3 properties to see, but we're going! Mom and Dad are going to come down and meet us there, and they will watch Lu for us for the brief time we will be touring. I booked a hotel through the company's travel service, but had to keep in mind that the parents ( Read more... )

Basically ever since my career started in earnest all those years ago at American Pride Seafood, I have had something of an ongoing issue with business travel and Chuck's attitude. When I was with APS, my travel was fairly infrequent, but it was there - I went away at least once a year to the Boston Seafood Show for 3-4 days, and might hit one ( Read more... )

Heading out to NJ next Monday! I got the company laptop almost first thing this morning, just to be sure I had dibs on it before anyone else swooped in. I can’t wait to visit people while I’m there; it makes me feel so social to actually have plans with friends for 3 consecutive nights.

On an odd note, people from the Cherry Hill offices keep ( Read more... )

Hey look I found a compy at the Conference "Cyber Cafe." Wish I'd realized it was here earlier. Though all I'd probably do is muck around like I am now.

The trip to Phoenix has been good so far. I've managed not to die yet despite being kinda sick. I think I have a sinus infection - ew, green mucus, but how suited to St. Patty's was that? - as I've ( Read more... )

- Credit card bills for the East Coast Revisitation are hitting. Blurgh.

- Taxes. Gotta do ‘em. Started this weekend.

- Trial re-run is looking to be scheduled on the 17th next week. This would be great, except that I’m supposed to be flying to Phoenix for the RCA conference. Technically I *can* swing it, but it’s a good bit of extra cost to our ( Read more... )

I'm going to be quite jetset again this month. Next week - 11 days to be exact! XD  - I head down to Chicago to see Muse on the 12th, then the following week I head to Phoenix, AZ. Somewhere in there I may be going to the chicken plant in Middle o' Nowhere, WI, and perhaps if need be I could be heading back to New Bedford, MA in a month's time. Who ( Read more... )

Hey y'all!

Guess what? Business is taking me back to the Providence area around February 11th! I plan to bring Chuckles and stay on for the weekend after my business is done. We'll probably be staying in the Attleboro area for most of it with our friend and his family, but of course I plan to jaunt around the old Providence stomping grounds a bit.

Getting caught up with all the little things before heading out tomorrow morning for a business trip. Normally I'd be pretty nonplussed, but this one is a trial I'm supposed to more or less be in charge of, and that intimidates me quite a bit ( Read more... )

Going to Minneapolis for work on Wednesday night, and coming back Friday night. Nooo lost time! I GOTST STUFFS TO DOOOO!
