Family reunion is going to happen at Sheets Farm Road over July 4th weekend! Our plan is to drive down to DC in our two cars and Ruby and fly out of DC to LA… Hang in LA for a day and then LA to Singapore… Hope you all can make it. We’ll do a BBQ!
Made it home.
So I survived a plane ride with my two kids by myself! With a layover in Raleigh-Durham no less. It was much, much better than I anticipated. The toughest part was getting out at JFK (staircase deplane-ing and then the elevator was broken to get to baggage claim. But a few people came by and helped us out and Ben helped me get the luggage and the car seats out to long term parking. I didn’t get lost on the way home either. Woo hoo.
Ben Wen invited me to his wedding. It’s right near us, in Catskills, NY. I’m really bummed I can’t go, we’ll be going to another wedding on the other side of the ocean.

Vince at the BookPeople storytime. This does not even begin to show you how many people packed this place.

Bored at Work…
I’m just twiddling my thumbs today at work.
Rachel, my boss, is out sick today. Jonathan, my teammate is out for the rest of the week on vacation. Ellen, my teammate, left today to go to Italy for 6 weeks.
I don’t have any access to sign up for benefits and such either, and someone seems to be taking their sweet time with it. Otherwise, I had a good lunch at the Thai Cafe. Spicy chicken. Yum….
Back to twiddling….

Well, I made the appointment using Internet. Double checked before leaving Pittsburgh. Guess what! The technician called sick and the dispatcher only notified me about 2 hours later around 10:30 AM this morning. The appointment was 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Would like to re-scheduled on Friday. No way! After several phone calls, an alternative finally showed up but without the right parts. He called almost every GE man around and went to get the parts and back. That was about an hour later. Finally, it was proclaimed “fixed”. But, I would rather wait for a couple of hours to make sure. Not a good day at all. Will leave for Pittsburgh around 5:00 PM.
