Sorry if it seems like I'm being a Skeeter, but I have 2 main issues.
1) If I'm required to attend any formal Government meetings I have to go. To decline the invitation is considered resignation.
2) My organisation is merging with 3 others during the Summer. We have a 65% attrition rate, which means that 2 out of 3 employees will be made redundant. If I pick a short straw, a may have to pull back the $2K Bahstahn budget to pay for luxuries such as food, clothing, mortgage etc.
I'd say the odds on Nobby hitting Boston are about 75%. It may be as late as mid-late April before I can confirm.
Look on the bright side:
If I can't make it, it will be an anti-climax.
If I do show, I promise that will also be an anti-climax.
