So, trip. I am packing for my trip this weekend, of course. (I'm also working with Dad to attach my bookcase to the wall stud, and probably to get more bookcases.)
There's the obvious. I mean, I'll want to do laundry and pack work outfits, including my new shirts (*pause to beam happily*). And my laptop has to go. My digital camera, to keep me sane. The books I want to read, and especially the library book that's due back within a few days of my return (hope the trip doesn't get extended!). My notebook. My travel documents including hotel, car rental, and flight information, and the company's we-insure-our-renters form.
There's a lot on the laptop, though. I did the work "packing" today and have the site source current at all sites, including this one; the file I'll need to patch in to fix a reported issue when we get there (that they worked around and found to be only a minor nuisance, whew!); the full current employee roster; the current testing base so I can be a developer if it's really, really boring (never has been yet, but I'm an optimist); that sort of thing.
I've also saved off some web pages and other things I want to read. There are two things I still want to "pack" on the laptop, and I'll get around to them somewhere in here.
1) A month of posts to work on for the documentation. I doubt I'll make it through the whole month, but I want to be able to work on it if the impulse hits.
2) My notes for building for a fantasy game, for a friend. That way, if the urge to describe things hits, I will have the pieces I need to put it together. Just write it, bring it back, run the script, and it will be as if I was connected when I did it.
I have most of the myriad of little stuff you need. I don't yet have it packed, but I have it and can find it.
Organized! It still feels slightly unreal.
