grammarwomanWheeee, I'm going to Vancouver! The problem with being unable to commit until the last minute, though, means that now I have to race around getting all the details locked down. Having the teller at my bank fuck up a certified check has not helped my calm at all.
I interviewed with my boss today about joining the web design and support division that is being moved to our location from the main office. It seems big and scary, which means my complacent, slacker self should totally do it in the name of self-improvement and job training. The meeting, plus a desultory poke at my current project that should have been wrapped up weeks ago, has constituted all the actual work I've done today. Oops.
All Hail the Emperor! Oh, bless my little man for finding new and exciting ways to be awesome while I've been wallowing. He's met his goals at school for three weeks in a row, so his social skills teacher is allowing him to self-monitor. I'm not quite sure of the details, but I think it means he signs his own sheet at the end of the day. He is so proud of himself, I could just burst. He was amazing, too, at his IEP meeting a couple of weeks ago; he gave the introduction of his goals, challenges, and accomplishments, and was so smooth about it. I wish I'd taped it.
Plus, I finally went looking and discovered that "Avatar: the Last Airbender" is on Netflix. I sneakily put it on this past weekend while he was playing on his DS. He was hooked almost instantly. We're almost at the end of season 2 now, with the constant refrain of "Mom, put on Avatar please!". Thank God - if I had to endure any more "Pokemon" or "Johnny Test", even as background noise, I think I might have gouged out my ears. I wish I had tuned in earlier! I suppose now is a great time to play catch-up, so we can launch right into "Korra" when we're done. \o/
Tomorrow at this time I will be heading for the airport, on my way to Seattle. With all the packing, planning, and preparation I have left to do, sleeping tonight may be optional.

And of course there's gonna be crew and PAs around, so it's not like it's super-dangerous. I don't follow the movies, so I have no idea who's in it or who might be on set.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to SG VanCon this year. Some family stuff came up. But I hope you have a good time while you're here!
