Well, I got through yesterday without worse than getting very loud and snappish with the HP representatives when they told me 'no no no we cannot register the care pack without the serial number, where is the serial number, there are twelve serial numbers associated with this order, tell us which one the system is even though the device is at a remote location and you have never opened the packaging yourself', so I suppose that's something. I'll be getting out early, too, so that's good as well.

I will be taking a train this afternoon to go to a winter renfaire/con thing called Wicked Faire; it looks like it's a renfaire built on the grounds of a Holiday Inn, with a Cthulhu-themed story instead of Ynne Dayes Of Olde When Kniggits Were Bolde (& Privies Notte Ynvented). The faire itself should be fun, but I'm looking forward to the train ride almost as much. It means I'm going somewhere that I can't be expected to do anything for anyone, because I'm on the train. So sorry! I cannot come and fix your computer! I cannot even remote into it- I'm on the train!

... yeah, petty of me, I know. But some days that's a big thing, for me.

The last train back's around ten or elevenish. I'll probably get some RPing in when I get home if I"m not too exhausted, so hopefully some threads can be wrapped up and stuff.

I owe you something sugary and num. Perhaps we can even get it so you can enjoy it ON the train.

*hugs the Cam*

I can be out at 4, festivities start at 5:30. Planishthings?

I have no clue where the nearest bubble tea place to Penn Station is, otherwise I'd hit you up for that. I was figuring on getting out of here at 3:30, grabbing something to scribble on/with, and heading for Penn Station, then waiting there for the train to Newark ...

oh, wait. Penn wouldn't be practical, would it? The train to Edison leaves from Newark Penn Station, and the train from New York Penn goes to Newark Broad Street, so we'd have to light-rail over to Newark Penn. Simpler to take the PATH after all.

*thinks a minute*

Could meet at 34th Street PATH, at 14th Street PATH, or at WTC PATH; WTC trains run pretty much WTC - Exchange - Grove - JSQ - Harrison - Newark. Preference?

Preference for me is 14th Street since you can probably get there about the time I'd get there, if a little earlier.

The Northeast Corridor line, which goes to Edison, leaves from New York Penn Station, stopping at Newark Penn Station.

Leaving your office at 3:30, the next available from PEnn Station is 04:07 PM arriving Edison 04:54 PM.

The one after that is 04:28 PM arriving Edison 05:23 PM.

Oo, looking good. I can live with that. Thank you!

Have fun!

If you see a skinny balding bearded guy with a camera - probably dressed in black - that's our buddy Yisrael. He's the official photog for the event. Tell him hi for me?
