First year my work locked us out of Google Drive so I can't mess with my spreadsheets while I'm at work.  It is killing me!!!

Why won't these people at work understand that:  I.  Just.  Don't.  Care.  And.  Wanna. Go.  To.  Comic.  Con?

Work is torture today.  Work Monday will be even more torture.  I was saving time off by going into work Monday but omg how am I going to think straight.

Yes, they're torturing us.  Don't they know that we don't like to be tortured?   :)

I did laundry today and put half of it straight into a suitcase.  Feeling okay about packing now. ;D

Obsessive planning, even moreso. This weekend I'm making up my grocery list. Normally, the 3-4 of us go to the grocery the day before the con to get everything we need, for the whole thing and the Hall H charcuterie meal. However, I'll probably be going alone this year! So I'm trying to plan out everything to make sure I don't miss something important.

Travel plans, because we're all in SoCal, are up in the air. Mainly because of work schedules, so we're still figuring it out.

All else fails, I have hundreds of video games that can ALWAYS be played. I'm on medical leave either way, so I don't have to try and pay attention at work (or more likely, make up billables to account for the time I'd be away.)

FYI, I just drove downtown to scope things out and that, in fact, does not help a person get un-wounded.  :)

Don't panic.  Cuz if you panic, I'll panic.  Am I talking fast?  It feels like I'm talking fast.  :)

I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed today.  I still haven't bother to look at the schedule yet.  I have to sort through all the RSVPs for offsites and schedule those out.  I have to build the head mount for cyclops, one of my 360 cameras.  The stereo rig is done but I'm not going to be carrying that all the time, too big. So I want a hands free solution as well.

This is going to be the most useless day of work ever.  I'm already checked into my flight. My boarding pass is printed.  Now to get through the next 8 hours of work without melting down with anxiety lol

I still have work tomorrow so today I've actually been surprisingly productive trying to get everything done work-wise before I leave. It helps I'm already mostly packed and my spreadsheets are all ready minus any last minute announcements. Now, tomorrow, I'm sure I won't be productive at all and it will be the longest day ever.

In preparation for the con I've muted a crap ton of words on Twitter because I want to just enjoy myself.  But people are posting screen shots of news , which don't get caught by word muting and... ugh I really need to just check out from this stuff entirely.  I'm not going to turn this thread into political discussion (that's not what this forum is about after all), but wow I need a break.  I'm just going to live in a happy SDCC bubble for a week.  Like... I don't want to know man.
