sanpaku_backupSo I am annoyed at everyone tonight. I am annoyed at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flw because I lost his phone number, or rather it is on my computer in Providence and I can't believe that I don't have the email message in which he sent it to me. I'm not really annoyed at him, but I am pissed off, because it occurs to me that if I am downtown and he is in the Valley, it will be unbelievably difficult to figure out where he is and get there while in the middle of this #$%^& conference I have to be at. Actually I am not annoyed at him at all, but I am antsy about choreographing this trip. I hate business trips, and this is like my fourth in the past two months.
But I am mostly pissed at Richie, because he decided to have his wedding next month in Eugene, where not a single soul known to either himself or the woman lives, and I cannot find a way to fly there from the Northeast for less than a god damn fortune. I am flexible about everything, but for any attempt I make to save money, there's some other expense. From Providence (or Bangor, for being up here) is $700, minimum. I can fly from Boston (have to get there somehow, with many connections on the train and whatever) to Portland (a 2 hour rental car trip from Eugene) for $400. If I fly from Boston to Eugene, however, with an extra vacation day, it's "only" $535.
Now, not to impugn anyone else's wedding, but for my wedding, I let all my friends stay in my reformed-crack-house place in Hampden, gratis. But for this, I'm going to have to (at best) split a hotel room with one of Richie's drunken Harvard friends, and anything I save by leaving a day earlier or later will go into a hotel room night. Anything I save from flying into or out of a further-away city will cost me in train or car rental charges. So I don't know how I am going to do this for less than, minimum, 800 bucks.
And then my phone card doesn't seem to be able to get through to his number, so I can't berate him for all this.
But unfortunately it's not as though I haven't known the guy since we were five goddamn years old, so what are you supposed to do...

Date: 2003-07-12 11:03 pm (UTC)what we in North America term "homey" actually means the same thing as "homely" in other parts of the English-speaking world, for example the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
just thought you might like to know that -- from sleepless in austin
