Kinda like Shaft, so you could say I'm Shaftin'

No real time for a proper entry (I'm back to an hour, hour and a half commute and it's really tiring) but here are several notes.

1. I really miss dancing. I watched some tango recently and said 'yeah I need to do that again'. Looking at UCB and SJSU social clubs.

2. Driving in new boots is a lot like masturbating while wearing oven mitts. If you masturbate at 65 miles an hour on a crowded freeway. Okay, so maybe it's not a lot like that at all.

3. Being able to fly anywhere I want would be a lot cooler if I had the time and the money to actually do so. But I still wonder how hard it is to get an Australian visa.

4. I think it's time to prune down my Friends list again. I've pruned my social life, that seems the next logical step.

5. Driving up 280 means it takes a lot longer to get to work, but it's a lot prettier. It's also prettier on the way home. And the drivers on it are suicidally insane in a completely different sort of way.

Which begs the question: Where are you going for training? A couple of days ago it was SLC. I get the distinct impression you are trying to string people (including moi) along. Which just made me think of another question to ask you, but since you are obviously feeling snipish I won't. :-)

Am I obviously snipish? However--today I discovered that my first week (of three) of remote location training will be in early October (probably the sixth) in Salt Lake City. Hollis says he plans to have the next two one-week sessions in the very City of Angels itself.
As soon as I have information (or at least within a couple of days) I'm quite likely to relay it here.

That sounds like the worst of all possible solutions. I hope the weeks are close to consecutive and not spread out until New Year's.

I hope so too. Furry little paws crossed.
From what he's said, I have no idea how long it'll take to get to the second week, but the third should follow hard upon. One week in LA, one week at work, then one week in LA.
