The grinch that is my work life strikes again; 2nd year running.
While last year I couldn't make it due to pressing work deadlines, this time around, its quite the opposite. My last client, after a management upheaval decided to shelve the project I was engaged on and gave me a weeks notice; this happened two weeks ago. As such, everything else took a backseat to lining up a new gig. Which I was able to do rather quickly and started a few days ago, but meant I couldn't, with a straight face, ask for time off either side of Easter.
Just as well, the CX tickets out of CMB are cancellable without too much of a penalty. Last year's MH tickets weren't so generous. My last hope was tonight's QF21 if I could get Qantas to open up a reward seat, however that flight is looking rather solidly booked, so no-go there.
I hope everyone has an enjoyable time. I'm cut up about missing out second year running.
(or maybe this lends more credence to
armagebedar's theory that
penegal and I are the same person
)
