I was told to apply for a corporate card and sent the travel forms, and it has been noted that flying out Friday is just as cheap as Saturday, and I might broach flying back sunday, happy to cover lodging that last weekend myself and OMFG I THINK I'M REALLY GOING TO SPAIN AND AM EVEN GOING TO GET TO PLAY TOURIST!!!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I TOLD YOU!!!
And bonus on the corp card. They can pay the foreign transaction fees!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YAY FUN!

Exactly! And less paperwork in doing expense reports (the only time I've ever done them was to get reimbursed when they flew me out for an interview and moving costs. Which was just gas.) I'm a little at sea, but luckily my supervisor and supervisor's supervisor are also going.

To freak everyone out: not taking a cellphone. I'll have my computer and iTouch (though if I get to stay the last weekend, might send laptop home with a coworker. I have a security cable I will take, but still) if I want to feel all modern. But I'm perfectly content (in fact, preferably content) to travel old-school.

Shit, I need to get a laptop bag. In addition to replacement luggage and a working camera.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Woo hoo, sarameg! That is fantastic.

I'll keep expecting to have it cancelled until the reservations are made. It's how I operate.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
GO TO SPAIN!

Yay, Spain! sarameg, I hope you have a wonderful time.
