Work-life conflict

[randy_byers]

I went to a meeting last week about scheduling for the Time of Chaos that happens every spring around Commencement sign-up, and as I looked at the dates when I had to do important, mission-critical stuff, I had the sinking feeling that it might coincide with Corflu Glitter next year. I finally checked today, and sure enough Corflu is happening right smack in the middle of the time when I'll be needing to run test extractions and then the actual extraction. I suppose I could pop down to Las Vegas Friday night after work and return on Sunday, but my gut reaction to this idea is not good, no fun, ixnay. I think Corflu will be a no-go for me next year.

Ugh. And fuck.

Well, maybe another reason to go to Novacon then.

I think the announcement said they're looking at either of the last two weekends in April 2013.

Argh! That would potentially put it in the danger zone for me. Although the last weekend would probably be okay. Hm, well, I'm hoping to see them the weekend after next when I'm in Portland for Thanksgiving.

Lobby for a weekend not in your Time of Chaos. Shamelessly!

I will, of course, but it might be a bad weekend for somebody else and/or for the hotel, so I won't be too adamant.
