last year, officespeak turned to a new low. people were suddenly too busy to say “vacation” so they shortened it to “vaykay”. i also saw, on some meeting agenda, that someone was OOO. what? is that some weird onomatopoeia? it stands for Out Of Office, which apparently couldn’t have been indicated by just typing “out”.
anyhow, kurt’s cheating death another year next friday (he’ll be 38, omgshhh) and we’re going to take a little vacation out of town saturday through monday. we’re staying at some million-year old hotel in downtown dubuque called the julien inn. hopefully we’ll get a riverside room; kurt likes to watch the tugboats and barges go up and down the river all night. i’m doubly-excited to check out their downtown shoppes. plus, too, we get our annual bonus on the 10th, so i will have a little extra dough to myself. we also should have opportunity to get up to prairie du chein to see gramma and john.
