TribalCon officially starts tonight. I think we are pretty much ready, but I’m sure problems will continue to pop up until it officially ends on Sunday. I’m already tired and the weekend of excessive physical activity, partying and little sleep hasn’t even started yet.
I have one errand to run on my way to the hotel this evening and I need to not accidentally acquire a cat while I’m there.
Wish me luck!
Since I can’t find a theme that I really like, I’m just going to change the theme every time I visit the page. If this annoys you, you should probably stop reading right now.

So I work for a utility. Let’s just call it GPC. They recently announced a Voluntary Attrition Plan (VAP) which basically pays about 700 GPC employees to retire at the end of March. Today they announce that employees retiring as part of the VAP are not allowed to have retirement parties. The retirement policy is that GPC gives each retiree a budget of 1/3 of their monthly salary for their retirement party.
While any employee with more that 10 years of employment with GPC qualified for the VAP, most of the people who are choosing to retire have been with GPC for 30+ years. These people were planning to retire in the next year or two and now they can’t celebrate their years of dedicated service with their families and coworkers.
It seems to me that a company that has elliminated raises and is asking its employees to cut costs could at least afford to treat its most experienced employees a little better than, “Thanks for all your work, now get out!”

I have managed to procure several themes, but none of them are exactly what I want. I guess I am going to have to do some more searching. Several of the themes would be great, if I could change the fonts.
I promise that I will start posting about more interesting topics once I finish the setup stuff. 
So this is my brand new home. Need to do some decorating, but it’s mine.
