The Calm Before the Storm
Jun. 26th, 2025 02:40 pmSo, tomorrow I'm off to Portland, having slightly misapprehended my weekend situation. It was gnawing at me too, because I was pretty sure Nocturne lived near Portland, but he definitely said we were going to Manchester Pride.
Nope, I'm driving to Portland and then on Saturday we'll be backtracking to Manchester. :p Well, alright.
I'm thinking I might try a different route this time, at least on the way home, because doing the all-highway approach on the way home from FCL almost got dangerously tedious.
Last night John told me that Casey's been dragging his feet on the PTO thing -and- wants to try to do a big trip later this year and that John's exasperated to the point of wanting to tell Casey to plan it himself. That was a bit awkward, and I half-jokingly suggested John come to Jersey with me and leave Casey at home. Which...I'd totally go for, but I'm not sure just how many divorce points something like that would incur for them.
The person who runs my work area's engagement committee said that my boss's boss's boss mentioned me as possibly being a good fit for said committee. I find this kind of hilarious myself, very in keeping with my penchant for either talking too much or not talking at all. I warned her about this, and made sure to suggest that I have a role that doesn't involve the actual execution of events.
The weather's thankfully much better now, 67F currently, 30 degrees lower than it was on Monday and Tuesday. When I left for the office this morning my appartment hadn't quite normalized; hopefully it will be nice when I get home.
