So I'm not going to Cancun

That sounds like a bummer, but it isn't. I could still go if I convinced my boss it was worth it, but personally, I'm feeling a little bit conferenced out right now. I've done a lot of travelling for this job already and even though I enjoy it, I also enjoy being in the lab.
The abstract deadline is today (the conference is in October) and I will ignore it. There is a super cool conference next January (a Gordon conference) that I really want to go to, but you have to apply to even attend, so we'll see how things go then.

In other news, I hate vanity sizing. You know, when clothes makers pretend that a dress is actually two sizes smaller than it is?

So when you order clothes they are too small or too large for the same size. I don't care if my size is "ugly, bitchy jerkhead" if it would be consistant.

edit to add: Bonus query. What do I do with 250 business cards with the wong room number?

Mr Bob suggested I move rooms, but the room doesn't exist. Shall I paint the number on the door?

You look great in that dress, too.

Too bad. You could have tried to get your DH to go to Cancun with you so he could have a little break at least.

I hate when they eff around with clothes sizes. When I lost my luggage in Canada a couple of years ago, I had to go out and buy some jeans. I had to buy two sizes higher than I buy here in Atlanta. It was weird and very depressing.

It's the extra layer of blubber everyone needs in Canada to survive those brutal, brutal winters.

That, or they need extra room for the long johns.

How about you stay in the lab and I attend the conferences.

Right now, I wouldn't mind that. Grab an extra tan for me while you are at it.

What is the "wong" room number? Does this have anything to do with the sneaky Chinese?

Ace. It's a joke.

Sorry you are so stressed. I'm sure that your talk will be awesome when you give it at the conference. My boss is very much the same way...I am sort of used to it now.

As for the clothes...I totally agree. I've had a lot of shopping trouble lately. Boo for stupid sizes.

Can I go to Cancun for you? I'll let you sit at my sunny desk...

You could make someone you hate cross out every card and neatly fill in the correct number.

Can you tell the printers they effed up and have them reprint them for free?

OMG! They messed up your cards? Send them back! ...or you can get little smiley face stickers and cover that part up on each card.

I should clarify.

The only one responsible for the wrong room number being on the cards was me.

But no-one mails anything, so I'm just going to ignore it.

So are they conferences coming up anywhere good or local?
