So I know I've already complained about how much it sucks to have to buy plane tickets and fly across the country for all those family gatherings and social events I'm expected to be at back on the east coast...
But I haven't had to do the "travel over the holidays" thing yet, so I'm sure that all my complaining is for naught, because I haven't experienced real pain yet...
Don't worry though! It's coming! I just booked my flight home for the holidays. It turns out that $COMPANY has a bunch of "Shutdown Day" days off between XMas and New Years, so I'll be home from December 23rd through January 2nd. Judging from the price Jet Blue charges, and the fact that every reasonably priced rental car is taken already, I'm sure there'll be a terrifyingly large number of people trying to get someplace other than where they live, just like me. It should be loads of fun. Now I know why Rob J doesn't travel during the holidays...
Anyway, I guess that means I'll have to figure out where the cool kids back home are going for a new year's party...
