That's my plan and has been for several months now to be honest. This is where I do my occational teaching. The top person gave notice late this afternoon and the person I report to was promoted to that spot tonight so I'd be in to get things cleaned up at $30/hour 25 hours/ week for at least two weeks to get loose ends in the program cleaned up with the possibility of it going 6 months if things go well. My course still will get the higher rate. After this week I have 6 weeks of unemployment left.(then goes to emergcy fund which means I have to take any job immediately) two weeks of this PT work would be eqivalent to 3 weeks of unemployment so I'd only loose 3 weeks of that if it doesnt' work out.

Good evening Box.

I am a :-:star:-:. Our wedding photographer used one of our photos for a full page ad in a wedding magazine and a few more for other articles.

Cool. Is this a national wedding magazine?

I need a hotel in SAN for Sunday night. Hampton Inn is $71 and W is $139. I'm Gold at SPG and Silver (if anything) at HH. I like SPG points more but I'm still not sure it is worth the up-charge.

Even with my recent HHonors experience I would side with Hampton Inn if equally convenient.

How much is "last few weeks"? What's the difference between net? What the real option that determines 2 weeks or 6 months? Any chances of learning something new?

That's a lot. I've been bagging most of my stays for under $70/night.

Even less after the $10 saved on the Hyatt checks ;)

I get to go back to school as well, starting on Monday. And I have to crash both the courses I'm taking. Even the online one :rolleyes:

Nah.. but one would think - it's about an inch thick and just as shiny. It's the local Austin magazine/website. Apparently they think a lot of weddings here in Texas. :p

Food news: I took out a turkey breast tenderloin for dinner. Didn't feel like waiting the 45 minutes to eat, so I started off with a bowl of oatmeal. Yes, dinner is oatmeal and (eventually) turkey breast.
