Driving up to Orlando for Thanksgiving: leaving early afternoon Wednesday Nov 21 straight from class, then playing video games (Orochi Warriors: Bending time and space for the win! XD XD XD) until I have to come back Friday noonish to go to work from 4 pm to 9 pm (unless my boss changes his mind again and switches my work schedule). I'm guessing most people will be too stuffed with turkey (pun intended ) to do much that week, but letting y'all know in advance anyway. I'm also going to be working on Christmas Eve/Day and New Years Eve/Day. (That was part of the conditions of accepting the job.)

I think it may be best to take Thanksgiving weekend off, or at least not have any hard deadlines during that weekend. Also, the time between Christmas and New Year's Day may necessitate a slow-down of the game.
Speaking of the new year, I'm getting LASIK done on my right eye on January 4th, so I probably won't feel up to staring at a computer screen that weekend.

I'll be visiting relatives Nov 20-25. Connectivity will be haphazard. On the other hand, I won't be getting much time off around Christmas, so I'll be available then.

As always, I can only reliably post from 8am - 5pm Pacific time Monday - Friday. I will be able to post a little bit at other times MAYBE, but my fiance really hates it when I take time out of the few hours I spend at home to play the game, so it will be sporadic.
Also December is going to be hectic at work, but that hasn't ever effected me before.

Kassia and I will be traveling to her sister's house in Minnesota, December 6th-9th, though I'm sure we will be taking one of the laptops with us, and her sister does have broadband. Other than that we have no real Holiday travel plans beyond short drives back and forth 'twixt my extended family in Monterey County, and maybe a day or two exiled with dialup at my Mom's.
ETA: On kassia's behalf... She does not have the same constant access to an online computer like I do during the day, but as soon as we get home from work every day (around 4:30pm Pacific, usually), we're both online a good bit every night, from our own individual laptops.

Gone just Thanksgiving day, as well as most of the Sunday after Thanksgiving. My parents will be in town first week of January but I should still have access.

I'll be gone for Thanksgiving as well. Not entirely sure of the exact dates, but I'm thinking it will be from the 21st to the 25th at the most.

As always, I will not be online during working hours (about 7:15 am until sometime between 5:00 and 5:30 pm Central Time). I will, however, probably be online for at least a short time every day during Thanksgiving weekend.

I'll be away from the internet roughly 20-23 Dec and 9-14 January I will have spotty access. Hopefully that won't be too long (for the January time I might be able to check quickly once a day or so, I'm not sure exactly).
Tgiving and Xmas and NY will all be fine tho.

I will be away over the Christmas period, 24th- 28th, with it being unlikely that I have any internet connection at all. I hope to be back happy, smiley and refreshed though.

I just saw my schedue, and it's terrible until Dec. 14th. I have exams on Dec. 1, 8th (x2), 11th, 13th, 12th, 14th, Paper due on Nov. 30th, Exam on the 29 of Nov. and 30th of Nov. and at least 16 other hours in which i'll be working. So um.... Other than my foreboding sense of Doom, i'll probably try to be active, but it'll be hit and miss. Obv. any time I have a test day, i'll be busy the night before it.... But i'll try to keep up, and I'll try to keep posting around 11:30pm-1:30am EST. But the other times will be VERY VERY Hit and Miss now.... I guess I shoulda looked at all my schedules together. I knew I had stuff due, just never put them all on the same page before. Damn.

Looks like I am going to be gone for all of the Thanksgiving weekend.
I will only be out of town on Thanksgiving itself, but apperantly my time has been booked up for all the rest of the days already. I will do my best to follow along and maybe post. No promises.

Sorry - I was away for the weekend but back now. Catching up as I type! (Didn't realized I'd been subbed in until I came back, huge apologies.)

For those whom have been wondering, my life has been in a severe amount of flux the last several weeks... as the saying goes: "When it rains, it poors."
I haven't had the time to check up on the game AT ALL since I signed up, and I hope that I've been replaced and, if not, it would be best to do so.
I'm REALLY sorry, guys.

I apologize for not posting much. Cookies and I have been busy getting ready for our trip to Minnesota this weekend. Just a reminder that we will both be pretty much MIA from Thursday afternoon to Sunday evening. We will try to check in when we can, but can't make any promises.

I have company visiting this weekend (Friday - Monday) and will be preoccupied entertaining them. I'll be checking in but officially it's going to be a 'going-away' status for me.
Cheers, T.

If you haven't noticed by now, my availability has gone WAY down due to me needing to be in school to work on stuff and this board being banned by the school's servers (boo hiss!). I'll try to keep up the best I can--I don't think I'll need to be replaced, but more often than not I won't be online.

It has come to my attention via the SDMB that 12/19 is next week. I will be going on vacation on the 19th for three weeks. I will have my laptop and a sat connection so there should be no problem staying connected (although I haven't tried the sat card on Maui yet. Haha sucks to be you in the snow and cold). I will not be able to post much if at all on the 19th, but knowing how time changes make me wake up early, I'll be on line the 20th. Unless I'm in a tent...because we have no hotel/condo reservations yet. I knew I was forgetting something. Not to worry sat connections should work just as well from a tent as from a condo. Aloha

Update: I'll be afk from the 18th (or19th at the latest) rather than the 20th, still til the 22nd or 3rd.

Just a quick update - it's my last week on this particular job and it's positively kicking my ass. Over the course of the next week expect to see my response time drop, though I plan to try and keep as active as possible.

I'm leaving to drive up to my parents' house on Thursday the 20th, so I'll probably be out of touch from Thursday morning until some time Friday. I'll probably miss the end of the Day, and some of the Night as well. Additionally it looks like I'm going to be pretty busy for the next couple of days, so I won't be too active.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow directly after work, and a family dinner on Wednesday after work. So I will be online late, if at all, tomorrow night and Wednesday night.

I guess I'll go ahead and put this in here.
From the 23rd to the 30th, I'll be with relatives. I'll have internet access to the vaguest degree (i.e. I'd have to steal it from my cousin, and it's dial-up and a pain in my rear) so I'll be able to check in, but probably no more than once a day and won't be able to do heavy reading.
From the 30th to the 5th, I will be visiting Tragic after she comes back to the States. I'll definitely have internet access (which isn't dial-up yay) but I'll still probably only check in once a day and not really do any heavy reading.

Ok, it took us way longer than I thought to get across the country, across the ocean and into our condo. We got up at 3:30 am on Wed central time and didn't get into the condo till 12 midnight PST.
Then my damn computer gave up the ghost again. They are replacing the system board for the 3rd time in less than a year next Wed or Thursday. Have to fly a guy over from Honolulu to do it and with the holidays and all, blah, blah, blah.
So I'm stuck using Mrsin's computer when he's not. Needless to say I will not be posting a lot, but will try to stay caught up.

Work schedule update - 4 pm - 10 pm Thursday to most probably Tuesday. I'll be keeping up on reading, but I don't know if I'll have time to make anything other than an occasional FoS/vote.

Due to a few external commitments, my time on this game is going to be reduced by quite a bit. I will still be playing but my time to play, analyse and post will be limited.
