Yep, still alive! Annoyed by trying to work on this project, though ... I have tons of stuff to do in NYC, but our travel budget's been slashed, and thus I cannot afford the $200/night hotel stays.

Which means trying to do NYC work from DC, which is difficult.

Man that totally sucks. Stupid budget slashing, what were they thinking?

Probably that some of the staff were using the opportunity to scam free shopping time in NYC. Which, to be fair, the interior designers were doing. *sigh*

Hee! That's awesome. Well, no, it's very much NOT awesome for you, but you know what I mean.

I do. And it is kind of funny, if it didn't have me searching craigslist for roommates to stay with in NYC.
