Hoo boy, I need to stop joking about living in "interesting times."
We're a small team, 8 people (as of right now, keep reading,) we had 9 (one guy got moved to another team,) and we're about to get smaller. 1 guy has decided it's time to throw in the towel and retire, 1 guy is semi-looking for a different position, and 1 guy is not entirely happy and is looking (and, he's the guy who's been getting trained to support the specialized app the retiring guy has been supporting since '07)
We could very quickly become a team of 5, and of that 5:
AND to add to the fun-factor, we're in a hiring freeze with no signs of it ending any time soon, so no backfilling if someone leaves and no adding bodies to the contract...
Gonna be an interesting next couple months

Wow, luckily you got that camping trip

Yeah, the camping trip this past weekend was a nice get-away. Took my Jeep off roading near the campground, spent a fair bit of time just loafing in a lounger with a good book...
Got chewed up by insects some, but that's what happens in the outdoors!

So the wife and I had a discussion and, presuming my employer declines to pay for me to go to Summit in November, we're going to pay out of pocket.
My question for the regular attendees, do I need to worry about the 3-day passes selling out? I'm thinking the soonest / latest I'll find out if my employer is paying is going to be early October, and if I pay my way now and they approve me going, I won't be reimbursed.

League is thru Yahoo. DM me and post in the above and I'll get you added. First come, first served.

Well one advantage I'll have attending Summit in November on my dime...
I can ignore any incoming calls on my phone from the office! TECHNICALLY I'll be on "vacation" LoL
