useless shit

I say that I can and WILL post my useless shit on this blog, eri. And what are you gonna do about it?! Ehh?! <_<; Okay, okay, don't delete my access I luff you. At your request BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY I have indeed twitter'd like every other moron on the web these days. So now all of my useless shit can/will go there. :D

In other news, I am now down to only 25 hours of vacation. IT SUCKS. I think after I'm promoted I will get a week's vacation at the 6 month mark, and then my anniversary is in November so I'll get... 4 weeks vacation? I'm not entirely sure how much vacay time is given at the 5 year mark for salaried managers. I'll have to find that out soon.

Seattle in April? Unlikely at this point. Right now I want to preserve those precious 3 days vacation time for when my niece is born sometime in April/May.
California before June? Definite since I've gotta make it out there someday, may as well do it while I can stay for free.
DC in summer? Who knows! I'd love to make it for the family's new tradition of an annual vacation but it's kind of hard to have a grasp of the financial situation when I've planned for two trips (Houston and Cali) that take precedence. We'll see.
Mexico for a week sometime this year? Yeeeeeeah I'm gonna have to get back to my dad on that. I know I promised but, well, I'm selfish so I put my desires first. >_> In all likelihood I will begin to plan this trip out only to be shot down by my dad because he's lazy and doesn't want to go anywhere. I guess I could force him if that's the case...
NIPPON 2009? Haha.
Point Clear, AL before the end of the year? Meh, likely. It's only a two night stay and the place looks nice enough. Why not. If I get placed somewhere semi-close and I do end up getting a car, I think it'll make for a nice little weekend getaway. We'll see.

I like going places so I think I'll add Vegas to the list for this year. I had a nice little idea for it while I was trying (and failing) to fall asleep last night. Oh, and Austin, too. I've got to do some shopping for my niece and the selection of vintage and indie items is impeccable there. :)

That and SXSW is coming up. :3
