Okay, So It Looks Like I Jumped The Gun A Little...
...and it is indeed showing in Bath. *Raises hand* sorry, my bad, but at least I get to watch it.
Last night should be the last late one I have to spend doing the program. I finished everything that hadn't been finished, and now the design goes into the tweaking stage. However, tweaking is something that can be done in the five minute here/there/everywheres I have in the labs - and will probably result in things being changed, then changed back, a great deal. Being able to transfer files between computers via my phone has been extremely useful and cheaper than CDs, and has meant I haven't had to buy a USB key that would crash my computer - TLS is a real serial bus whore, and when she and USB2 get together, everything goes crazy.
There are two photographs to get and include, hopfully being taken either today or tomorrow, and then I submit a CD full of the masters to the print unit and tell them to impress me. Good bloody riddance and not before time.
Do I go to a conference in Cape Town? I'd like to, it's relevant to my area of chemistry and I have my EPSRC travel budget to spend before I finish, so it's a real possibility. The other option is Ljubljana on the day that Wicked comes out in London - so you can rest assured it would be preferred not to bother with that one if I can at all avoid it, as nice as a quick trip to the balkans would be.
I still have three A2 posters - the greyscale, the incontinence pad yellow and the fuchsia pink. Where am I supposed to put them? I offloaded a large chunk of the A4 and A3 ones to the ICIA, but nowhere on campus seems to want a large glossy monstrosity on their wall. Can't for the life of me understand why...
Ticket sales have already started, so our postering and flyering in town seems to have worked - at least partially. We're getting the lucrative outside bookings coming in, but they're mainly for the Saturday night, when we wanted to sell the Wednesday. We're already almost guaranteed to sell Saturday out, with parents and friends turning up, but the earlier days are typically half-empty, and getting through a hundred and fifty tickets for Wednesday night would end all money worries for the show and mean that they could actually do a summer concert without stressing about budget.
They'd just be doing it without me.

Have you got a poster in the markety type bit that leads through to Sainsburys? You could offload one of the monstrosities there... and if you're really desperate to get rid of them, the fuchsia one would fill the middle pane of my window fairly well, and would be more visible - the A3 one is visible, but the pink one would be more so... I'm not making much sense, even to myself.
Good luck with tweaking, and selling more Wednesday tickets - if it wasn't for the fact BUST have already been told to go on Saturday, I'd volunteer to rally the troops, but oh well...
Back to revision for me I think. Now if only my eyes weren't so puffy...
