Vividcon, it's only a day away!

[corilannam]

Well, a little more than a day, really. But I leave tomorrow, and I've been very busy cycling through excitement/packing panic/social terror. I'm finally getting to meet in person *so* many people that I've known online, some of you for quite a few years. I can't wait, but I've reached that point where I'm completely convinced that I'm going to start going up to people and waving excitedly, then squeaking and running away before they can figure out who I am.

Yes, yes. I know. But still.

In the meantime, I've quasi-miraculously finished everything at work that I got dumped with as soon as my coworkers finally internalized that I was actually going on vacation for a week and a couple days. I'm now warding people off with scissors whenever they might possibly be approaching my desk with something that isn't food. I'm also sneezing constantly, because in all my life I haven't learned yet that I'm allergic to anything that comes in spray form. But it helps ward off potential supplicants.

*achoo*

Must stop that. Tonight is gym, shopping, movie, packing up the kitties to go visit their auntie chelseafrew, packing up myself, burning more DVDs, and eventually (possibly) sleeping. I would like to at least be conscious tomorrow to see deannie and noelql (tomorrow!).

*achoo*

Yeah, guess which Dwarf I am.

I'm always convinced that people will meet me and go away thinking less of me than they did before they met me. If that makes sense. *g* Ah well. Time to shove my social neuroses in a bag and pack. :)

Yeah, I always think that, too. Like, "Wow, she seemed so cool online, but boy is she lame in person! I'm never commenting in her LJ again!" Fortunately, that seems to happen only rarely in real life. *g*

Too much packing! No time for neuroses!

I'll prize the last comment I got from you because, I am lame in person! Whoohoo!

Ummmm, was consciousness a requirement for tomorrow? Damn! I knew I forgot something...

Seriously, consciousness will be seriously optional around our house tomorrow since I've got to finish cleaning my crap all over the house tonight and then haul my butt into the lab at some ungodly hour tomorrow morning. deannie will be meeting you at the airport tomorrow as I will be in lab hell. It's a long and painful story, but I'm hoping to be done by 4 or 5 tomorrow afternoon, so that we can party!!!

LJ is going to be awfully quiet after VVC, because we're all going to be snubbing each other for being too lame. *g*

But wait. Then what will I do when I'm dying of boredom at work? This could be a problem.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Optional consciousness is a good thing, since it's now 2 a.m., and I'm still up. *g*

But ack! Lab hell again?? That sucks! *hugs* I'll hope for it to be as painless as possible, both for your sake and so that I can see you as soon as possible!

Have a great time! I'm jealous - not of the con really cause I like vids but I'm not really 'into' them - but jealous cause you get to visit one of my favorite cities and hang out with some really cool people!

Talk to you when you get back. :)

i've been reading all your posts about vividcon, sounds like you are all going to have a wonderful time. so, have a wonderful time!

i'm in hysterics over your description of what happens at work when people realise you really are going away. sad but true. i've actually had to resort to taping my mailbox shut because...well you know what happens.

have they resorted to putting stuff on your chair whenever you get up and leave the room? heh.

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't even have to leave the room anymore. If I just stand up and take more than two steps away from my desk, people dash in and drop stuff on my chair. I think they figure if they don't actually hand it to me, I can't say no. *g*

And it continues this week, since of course the greatest welcome-back gift anyone can give is a new work project!

[corilannam.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was fun! Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too.

But you got to visit epeeblade, so you have no cause to be jealous of me. *g*

[jenlev.livejournal.com]

oh yeah. we actually *discussed* this in a staff meeting because it got so bad for everyone. of course, i just go find the 'dash-ees' anyway...bwahahahah, they can run but they cannot hide. ;)

although i have to admit i really do love my job, so new projects usually help to keep my mind alive. as one of my co-workers says "job security, and plenty of it." *G*

by the way, i love your icon which bring new meaning to the term 'stuck at work'. hee.
