So, here's the scoobie: K and I have a cruise all paid for, just waiting for us to book. I have oodles of vacation time. K, on the other hand, does not. I know so many instances in which we have had time off, but no place to go. I can't think of a time in which we have had a place to go, just no time in which to do it. I've been to Royal Caribbean's web site several times now, just to window shop and see all the wonderful things we could do, including a ten day Caribbean getaway just after New Year's. Oh, sure... we could take a nice cruise over the holidays, but it would cost over $1K more. The same goes for spring cruises - Damn the rules of peak season cruising!! So, it looks like my dreams of a tropical getaway will have to wait a bit longer than I had anticipated.

*le sigh*

And so... more shit has arisen with the madrigal banquet. I swear; quality aside; if this thing even gets off the ground, I will be thrilled! Yesterday I was informed of an added fee that adds over $1,600.00 to my budget and today I was just informed that I wasn't given a budget for any publicity. WTF!? How the hell am I supposed to sell tickets to this thing without any publicity??? So, back I go to my advisors tomorrow to figure out how I can squeeze blood from a rock. In the meantime, things have gotten so challenging with the Ren Mad that I have had to quit my stage managing job.

Gah!
