In a bizarre twist of fate, today is the birthday of both my boss and my boss boss. How big a cake do you need to get in order to suck up to a Director and a Vice President at the same time? I am thinking it has to be pretty massive.

Last night I started packing for Edmonton. I’m a little apprehensive about this trip, not in the least because we appear to be going during a cold snap. The forecasted HIGH for the entire time we’re there is 0C – what the hell! I burned all my winter coats when I left Calgary; I don’t OWN things meant to insulate me in freezing temperatures. I hate traveling with warm clothing – it takes up so much room in my bag; precious room that could be used for electronics. I will have to repack tonight –  I think I foolishly put a short-sleeved shirt or two in my suitcase instead of sexy polar fleece long johns and wool turtlenecks.

It won’t be all bad, though. We’re going to Edmonton for Visiting, not Fun Events – I can probably get away with not wearing pants during Visiting, and maybe there will be a fire. I could really get behind a couple days of no pants and my DS and a fire. Plus, both my in-laws are amazing cooks. Also, there’s no PST and the only good donairs in Western Canada. Okay, I’m looking forward to this again.

I probably shouldn’t say anything further about the unpleasantness of last week, but I can’t pass up the chance to say this: forced apologies are lol.
