I've got my study space, and I dunno, when I'm in it then I'm just in work-mode. There's something about just walking into that room that just primes the brain for work time. I can't work in front of the TV like my partner can, I have to be away from everything.. and have to put on headphones if she's got the TV going while I'm working.... but I also don't have cute little furguys checking up on me so I imagine that makes it way easier.

No, not a vacation at all. I have to transfer my work visa from one company to another, and for that I need to have a 5 minute interview at a US Embassy outside of the US. Vancouver BC is a 50 minute flight, but the 6 US Embassies in Canada are all booked up for months... so I have to go to Barbados if I want my visa transferred before September.

I really should have got you to put in a good word for me. I'm a good guy, really.
