Good luck Morri, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Good luck Morrie, fingers crossed for you!

My review was 110% positive, not a negative thing to be said. Was just notified that I will receive 2.95% raise in salary. So, that's 1% for the 3 years I've been back with the firm or in a more positive light, 2.95% for 4 months in the new firm. As Paulette Goddard said, any ladle is sweet that dishes out some gravy.

It's Ben and Jerry's Free cone day out here on the Bitter East Coast. Your mileage may vary.

OMG, I'm going to Yosemite... TOMORROW!

My brother's on his own for a few weeks while the wife & kids are in Taiwan and I called him up to see if he'd like to do a quickie camping trip at some point. Next thing I knew, we were making plans to leave tomorrow for a 2-night jaunt in Yosemite!

Now I just have to hammer out all the other details like popping on a few days of work at my boss' house early next week (hey, when I'm present I get a lot more hours in, helps pay for the gas!), and crashing at my dad's for that part of the trip. But basically, it's a-happenin'!

Fun, Morrigoon! And good luck on that job. Though I know you'd really hate to ditch your current gig.

As for free cone day - I just now discovered the Ben & Jerry's a block from here has closed. Bah.

Do cell phones work in Yosemite's lodging areas? I presume so (still have to take a conference call Thursday morning). Hell, if they have internet there's probably phone. Or worse comes to worse I could skype in or something.

I know you can call the Valley from the top of Vernal Falls. Made me feel much less wildernessy. I suppose that means there's service down in the Valley (the Valley so low).
