First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise 5/10/2009

[robind]

I'm sweating it out a little. I'm a consultant and just rollled off my current project as of Sept 22, went on vacation for 2 weeks and was hoping to have a least a week on the "bench". Well, it was not to be. I got a phone call at 10am, on Monday morning, wanting me to start on a project on Tuesday .

So, off I go to book a flight, car rental and hotel, do a load of laundry and pack. When I got to the first day of meetings, I found out the go-live date is Memorial day weekend, two weeks from the cruise. I'm worried they may make me cancel.

That's one of the problems w/ being a consultant, sometimes it's very hard to plan things in advance. Oh well, I love my job and would only give it up to work for Pete and the team.

There are two reasons why we'd cancel the podcast at this point.

1. Either DH or I lose our jobs and are unable to find anything else

2. We get matched for our adoption in China sooner than we expected. That's always a possibility...we are going to submit our paperwork for our agency's special needs program. If we continue our wait as we had originally intended, we'll be waiting to be matched to our daughter for another 2-3 years. Within the special needs program in China, we could get our referral much, much quicker! DH and I have discussed with our agency our special needs that we could handle and hope to be matched within the next year. If that happens before the podcast cruise, we'd probably have to cancel as we would need every penny for that trip to China.

I certainly don't want to cancel the podcast cruise, but if either of those situations arise, we'll have no choice.


***note to self...check out trip cancellation insurance!***

I can help you with #2 in such a way that you won't POSSIBLY miss the cruise!! You could adopt ME instead!! I'm already "special needs" though low maintenance, I'm (mostly) potty-trained, LOVE Chinese food and have a lot of other little features that'd make a parent proud.

I'm already going on the cruise, have a passport (very little paperwork involved)... Apart from the comparative loss of a tremendous amount of altruism, I can't see the down side!!

MOSTLY potty-trained and loves Chinese food... Not a good combination.

Can you still fit into a crib & stroller? I'm sure you'd look cute in all of the frilly dresses i've bought thus far...

I have my own crib (tru dat) and am not 100% opposed to the occasional frilly dress.

It gets better and better....

Nobody wants to deal with an adult who has potty issues. I could care less if he wears a dress or sleeps in a crib.

Don't do it Brandie!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!

Before you know it he'll be wanting the car keys, drive around all hours of the night and leave you with an empty gas tank, eat you out of house and home and be sneaking girls in thru the window.....

I don't know about CSI, but it was a segment on a certain late night HBO series.

OMG!! My sides hurt!!



I think I'm going to need a vacation after my upcoming Podcast cruise vacation in order to recover from all the laughter!!

Hmm...I thought I was the only one watching Cathouse! (or was it RS)

Ohh...I remember that CSI too...some big fat rich guy in a private room with dirty diapers and bottles...almost as weird as the plushie/furries one.

I have HBO, but I'm not positive which one you mean...

Is it the show that rhymes with Seal Necks?
