Back to the Derby

Darn my Rockits, anyway, for goin' and makin' me feel all valued 'n' shit.

Seriously, being yelled at for suggesting the possibility I might not make the next bout is kinda wreaking havoc with my nonathletic self image, guys. My inner band geek is still having trouble thinking of myself as something other than comic relief on wheels.


...but I'm still gonna try to go to both NC *and* SF at the end of January. So there.

But having my cake and eating it too can be pretty rad. That must be why *two* people brought me birthday cake this year.

oh... Wait.

So... I just realized that the week or so I'd like to be gone to go to NC and SF is the week before my boss is due to have her baby- and it'd be pretty lame for me to not be here then.

But, our office is so lax and cool about stuff.

Do I still ask for the few days off and see what she says, or is that just dumb and inconsiderate?
