The Art of Travel

The Younique training session went well. The speakers were a mixed bag, but it was great to talk to other presenters. The only thing is that I rolled in very late, so I wound up staying an extra night to catch up on my sleep. The Ohio River had indeed flooded; you could see it pretty high up on the trees when I went over the river.

This week was a week of meetings. I presented to two classes, went to a budget hearing to defend our line items (I think that it went well, but we'll find out in August what our budget will be), and attended a faculty meeting. I've been really tired all week, culminating in sleeping in to 1 PM today. Not sure what to do about that.

I'm seriously considering staying at hostels during my San Francisco (library conference) and Chicago (Younique conference) trips this summer. I would save a ton of money by doing that, even getting a private room. I don't have a lot of extra cash to burn, so it might be a wise move. The S.F. hostel that I'm looking at even has laundry facilities, which would be a big help. It has a kitchen, so I could eat some meals in. And it's near Union Square, so it should be walking distance to Moscone Center.

Onwards to do my taxes!

No Wonder I'm Broke

Well, this is interesting. The amount of money that I made last year at the library was $3050 less than the amount of my offer letter (plus I got a 2% raise last year). I just checked the offer letter. You bet that I'll look into this!
