The good news is that with my new job, I will be able to afford to attend AC. Until I got the job, the money situation made me attending this year quite questionable. However, I may not be there all of the days. Because it is in my first 90 days of my new job, I am not eligible for paid time off yet. Currently, I plan to attend AC on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but not Thursday as very little happens that day making it not worth loosing pay for a day. I will be checking the AC website to see what the schedule for events is and, depending on what is scheduled, I may or may not attend on Friday. If there are not enough activities to make the day off of work worth it, I may end up working Friday also.

I also won't be available all day as normal to make trips to the airport or anything for friends due to my work schedule.

however, if anyone I know attending AC needs something on one of the days I am working, send me a text or call and leave a message. (I keep my cell phone off at work because the big hillside near the building causes bad reception which drains the battery.)

I hope to see all my friends at AC, and if anyone in particular wants to make sure to meet up with me there, leave a reply on this journal and I will contact you to make arrangements for when/where to meet at AC.
