I got laid off on June 14th. Before then I was concerned about how long I could stay at Pennsic because of only having two weeks of vacation left, and not really wanting to use it all up at Pennsic. After I got laid off, I no longer had to worry about having limited vacation. It became a matter of if i got a job, should I really take off one or two weeks right after starting. Or if still unemployed would I have the money to afford flying to Pennsic and the cost of Pennsic itself. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Well, no job yet but a few possibilities. Much better job market than it was last summer and fall or the spring before that, the last two times I got laid off. So after debating the matter back and forth the last few weeks, I went ahead and made my airline reservations tonight. You have to cancel any Pennsic reservations by tomorrow (July 20) in order to get any money back. Hopefully if I do get a job offer I can negotiate around Pennsic or starting after Pennsic. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>So, best of luck on the job front, Ki-lin and hopefully I'll see you and everyone else at the SCA-Librarian's meeting.
