Bugger.

Although I *thought* everything was peachy with my trip to Vancouver (and Victoria) and Los Angeles for next month, I was wrong. Really wrong. I was *told* by the girl in scheduling at work that if I did not have enough paid time off, I could request a leave of absence, and that would make up for the days I needed that I could not get paid. I was told this by a girl who is no longer doing that job. So now they cannot approve a LOA for me and I don't have enough vacation time, so the bottom line is that we can't go to Vancouver. But we will be going to LA for the convention as usual, and the time is pretty much approved. I guess that is ok, so now I don't have to freak out about what to wear, at least for now. But thing is, this trip was going to be cheaper than the cost of a round trip to Vancouver alone. The peak season will start soon, and weather-wise will be better for me, but the rates for everything will be higher. But maybe it it is for the best.

hi there, this is katy from the

vancouver community. So sorry to hear about your trip--I know you were really looking forward to it. I added you to my friends list--hope that's ok. You don't have to add me back if you aren't interested ;)

katy

How could I NOT add someone back who has Ofra Haza in their interest list? :P

Plus, for when I *do* go there, it'll be good to have a connection there. :)

omg you KNOW who Ofra Haza IS!! wheee :) I think you just broke my music listening block--just put her cd on. Wish I could afford her lovely box set.

I know *of* her, but not 100%. Yemenite, right?

yup :) Someone asked me about her in my interests post, so I posted some more info about her. It's so scattered on the net though now that's she's passed away--hard to find a good bio.

Didn't know she died. I know we have at least 1 cd from the mid-late 80s I think,

If it's "Shaday", pop it in your stereo now :)

Looking for it now...

...it is Desert Wind. From 1989.

oh that one has some good songs on it--I don't have that one..

I actually haven't listened to it in years honestly. When you have 1500+ cds, some get overlooked from time to time.
